Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I'm 55 and I've had seasonal asthma all my life. Each fall and spring, i have a dry hacking cough that lasts for months. I take proair (2puffs every 4 hours) and dulera (2 puffs twice daily) but nothing stops my dry hacking cough and eventually, the allergen goes away or I get so exhausted, I ask for prednisone (but even then, I don't feel better until the allergen goes away). I do steam baths, cool mist humidfiers, and slathers tons of vicks on my chest, use cough suppresants and cough drops. I'm getting tired of this routine twice a year! Any suggestions?
