Suggest Treatment For Wheezing
Question: Hi
I am XXXXXXX batra, a resident of new XXXXXXX since childhood. March 17 + two weeks i suffered from bronchitis. Wherein i was prescribed with 2 weeks of antibiotics and anti allergics like allegra with syrups like bronchyl and grilinctus bm.
Two weeks later the Dr had suggested to continue with allegra for another week.
Although my allergy had gone at that time but still i suffer from whizing when i lie upside down on the bed or in a dusty place or riding the bike or sit under the ac after a morning run. I take the montair lc tablet when the whizing increases and then whroooom the whizing is gone for a week or so. And then returns back if there is a dust storm or change in weather. Considering this summer has been the most surprising of many in new XXXXXXX my whizing has troubled me every other day during the week.
I donot want to tajke new course of antibiotics. I do run in the morning and at that time the cough isnt there. however during the day there is persistent cough where in there is a very sweetish phelgm :(

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your Query and an elucidate history.
Read your history of medical problems , the medicines you have been taking and the timing of exacerbation you have.
" WHEEZING " : the term denotes Bronchospasm seen in asthma, in your case it looks to be an allergic bronchitis with asthma like symptoms.
Antibiotics taken already. You will need them again only if there are signs or symptoms of infection like yellow phlegm, fever, chills or so. No need at the moment.
Allegra helped you for the allergy and its ill-effect on body; Bronchyl and Grilinctus BM helped as they contain bronchodilators. Allegra alone too can help as there is an antihistamine effect and helps indirectly to control wheezing too.
The wheezing as you know is increased due to exposure to allergens. Allergens ( which cause allergy) are more in thew places like bed, dusty places, you mentioned. Montair Lc helps in a same way by its antihistamine actions.
I would advise you to try Syrup like Grilintus BM at the time of wheezing as it contains bronhodilator terbutaline too.
As such there looks to be no need of an antibiotic at the moment. In the morning the pollution is least so no wheezing in the morning. As the day passes by Delhi's pollution level increases so you get persistent cough and sweetish phlegm.
The basic rule of such a conditions is to avoid the allergens as much as possible. Please see to this rule. Whenever there is wheezing take syrup Grilinctus BM. And see the results. Continue morning exercises and regularly take the medicines.
