Brief Answer:
A nebuliser is needed also

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

I can understand your concern

As I saw carefully the attachments I agree with your doctor.

Actually you have started a medication anti parasites according to the high levels of eosinophils ,which will also help.

Given the fact that the wheezing persist will also recommend you to start a nebuliser with CLENIL C twice for up to one week which will relieve the obstruction of the peripheral small airways .
You will feel better soon after it.
It might be that after this situation an inhaler will be needed as you are an asthmatic patients ,for at least one month such as Budesonide twice. However it's your treating doctor who will decide about it. Please discuss with him or her for the above

Hope to have been helpful

Hi again
CLENIL C has salbutamol and steroids in se.
