Hi there,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Your disease condition is known as Pneumoconiosis. Its a occupational lung disorder due to inhalation of particles for a prolonged period of time.
My suggestion is using inhalational route of drugs is much much safer than taking pills/syrups orally for your disease.
Regarding dosage/type of medicine,as you have asked should be judged by physician after carefully examining you. So i suggest you to consult a Pulmonologist.
Regards,
Dr.SIVAYOGI

Benadryl- 25 to 50 mg (1-2 capsule)
symbicort-Adult and Older: For patients 12 years of age and older, the dosage is 2 inhalations twice daily (morning and evening, approximately 12 hours apart).
The maximum recommended dosage is SYMBICORT (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) 160/4.5 mg twice daily.
