The situation is that 4 days ago I started to have the coughing and several chest congestion, terrible wheezing and still like a thunderstorm. I went to a homeophatic store and bought to syrup 1 for day time, and 1 for nighttime. I didn't work, so I stop because I realize that contain suppressant. I can't afford a doctor now, I don't have health Insurance, I have this problem that start the las week of November. I pay a clinic that was a Practitioner no a Doctor. and just got some prescription for Ventolin and cheratussin. treating myself with home remedies but right now I feel like only this terrible thunderston is in my chest .and supposed that the ventolin is for the wheezing . in the past I have taking PRO AIR AND SINGULAR.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what you have been experiencing. Wheezing in most cases suggest an obstruction of the airways of which the most common cause is asthma. Allergy medications and ventoline are meant to control the symptoms and not cure asthma. The main stem of treatment is identifying the provoking factors and preventing exposure to. Some include oil, pollen, dust, cold, exercise. etc.
depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may be required to take medications daily or only take drugs when you have crisis. Ask you doctor about educational material on this to help improve your understanding and participation in the management of this condition.
I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
