I am an asthma patient for the last fifty years originated from acute cold for which a tablet was provided to stop cold with asthma to paste on chest At 2 Oclock mid night I wakened up and felt difficulty in breathing but cold had absolutely come down. Then I went to another doctor and he gave me dycristin injection and calcium also. every fortnight i had to do this and then some other medicines were prescribed thus i fell as a regular patient. Now I am eighty three years old before taking this bad tablet I could swim thousan yards to and fro but now I cANNOT WALK A FEW STEPS OR TALK A WHILE , BYTHE TIMEi WHEESE. THANK YOU DOCTOR

Hi,
Asthma is itself a allergic disease due to cold (or dust or pollens or grass etc) irrespective of the triggering factor.

Your asthma actually triggers bronchospasm which leads to your wheezing and breathing difficulty.

You can go for pulmonary function tests if not done.

Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalational steroids,beta agonists,anticholinergics as MDI or rotahaler as a regular treatment.
There are very good medicines like steroids, alpha adrenergic agonists, anticholinergics available in market in all formulations like inhalation, oral, injectables etc which can be effective within seconds even.

To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles,you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers(montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation.

The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor.

Consult your pulmonologist for further advise.
