Suffering From An Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, Asthmatic. On Augmentin Duo And Asthalin Respules. Why Am I Prone Infection?
Hi,
I suffer from an upper respiratory tract infection frequently. I use Salbair and Esiflow inhalers. I also use Augmentin Duo when my sinuses get infected. However, the cough is the problem and persists for atleast 2 weeks after I'm better. For my asthma, i use Budecort and/or Asthalin respules.
I travel a lot, and i seem to catch infections very easily, despite protection (mask).
What is my long term solution? Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi
Predisposition to frequent upper respiratory tract has many reasons. It can be due to a deviated nasal septum,recurrant sinusitis,and even allergic rhinitis. you should get a thorough ENT check up to rule out these. If treat according to that you should get relief. And you can use levocetirizine + monteleucast regularly in night to avoid getting an allergic attack
thanks
