How Can Asthma And Chronic Cough Be Treated?
I have been told I have asthma for a long time and have been treated with albuterol inhalers and occasional prednisone. Recently i ve taken Dulera and Qvar to calm a persistant phlegm throughout the day. I get relief from bronchospasm but little reduction of phlegm. My question is: might I also have bronchitis along with asthma? If so, might a muscarinic be helpful? Jim

anti muscarinic used in advanced asthma so dont use it now,
use inhaler MDI FORACORT 200 MICROGRAM 2 PUFFS TWICE AND MDI SALBAIR 2 PUFFS WHEN NEEDED WITH TAB ABFLO SR 200 ONCE WHEN FEEL PHLEGM AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH
FURTHER CONSIDER FOR USE OF OMALIZUMAB IF NOT CONTROL
