How Long It Takes To Cure Bronchitis And Mild Asthma?
I have (usually) mild asthma. For several weeks I had a combination of deep chest infection, brinchitis and asthma. The infection eventually cleared up with the help of antibiotics but the asthma is not yet controlled. How long is this situation likely to continue?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
Usually respiratory tract infection precipitates asthmatic attack.
Now as infection controlled gradually asthma attack will be alright.
Continue with bronchodilator medicine.
Add steroid for some time to control attack quickly.
Do deep breathing exercises daily.
Ok and take care.
