Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, inhalation of moldy hay dust can cause breathing difficulty, wheezing.
Actually inhalation of moldy hay dust cause bronchitis. Bronchitis in turn causes bronchospasm and all the symptoms.
So bronchodilators and anti inflammatory drugs are given in treatment.
This is usually recovering in 1-2 months. Avoid any further exposure to the allergen.
PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It not only diagnose bronchitis but also tell about severity of the disease.
And treatment is based on severity.
So get done PFT.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
