Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to acute exacerbation of asthma, secondary to a respiratory tract infection.
Management involves:
1. A course of antibiotics to eradicate the causative organism.
2. Asthalin & Seroflo inhaler- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
3. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy.
4. Antihistamine preparations like Allegra for symptomatic relief.
5. Steam inhalation & deep breathing exercises.
6. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.
7. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Pulmonologist for proper clinical evaluation.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
