Suggest Treatment For Asthma

I have asthma and my doctor has tried several things and since I had bronchitis in the winter nothing seems to work . Right now I am on QVAR daily and ProAir and also albuterol with a nebulizer as needed. It works sometimes it other days I m using the albuterol too often. Is there anything that is considered a better combination. I also take an allergy pill daily

Hello dear,

Asthma is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages.

Management includes:
1. Asthalin & Seroflo inhaler/ QVAR and ProAir- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
So, you can use it whenever you are having an acute attack.
2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma.
3. Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Cough expectorant syrup for symptomatic relief.
4. A course of antibiotics may be taken to manage secondary bacterial attack.
5. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet.
6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.

So, the medications as prescribed by your treating Doctor are correct, kindly continue them as advised.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
