How To Treat Severe Asthma?
I am 30 years old and suffering from Asthma since childhood. Till couple of years ago I was required to use the inhalers Asthalin and Budecort as and when required. I mostly avoid using Budecort till I am having whizzing and breathlessness that is not controlled by Asthalin. Till 2-3 years ago, I never required to use Asthalin more than couple of times a week and Budecort once a month or two. But in past couple of years, it seems to have aggravated and I am required to take inhalations 4 - 5 times a days many a times during a week and often take Budecort as well. I wanted to know if there are any side effects of using these inhalers that frequently and how I can improve the health to be back at how it was 2-3 years ago?

these are best options as dosages go in micrograms
but if you can think of allergy tests and along with these eliminate the avoidable allergens like food and clothes and go for sublingual immunotherapy for un avoidable allergens like pollens and dusts you can have more help according to my experience both things can be continued together
