How Can Wheezing Be Treated During Pregnancy?

Hi Doctor, I am a 29 year old female in the 13th week of gestation. I am known case of Asthmatic since my childhood and I have been getting Inj. Deriphylline once in a while and when I was about 24 years I used to work in a air conditioned environment where I developed wheezing more often so I started taking Asthalin inhaler as per my doctors advice. Sometime after I became resistant to the inhaler so I was prescribed with Monteleukast (10mg) with levocetrizine(5mg) - half a tablet for alternative days. Even now I am getting wheezing so I am taking the same tablet. I would like to know whether it is okay to take it in alternative days during pregnancy? I am trying to reduce the intake of the tablet but I am unable to so that as I somehow get the wheezing daily.

Hi i do care for your concern.
The wheezing is caused due to allergen exposure and in some stressful situations.
The drugs that you are taking now have no proven safety records in pregnancy.
I would advise to
Consult your physician and change to lower class of drug such as chlorpheniramine tablet, and salbutamol for inhalation.
It is important to prevent the triggering factor than to go for medications.
wearing a mask avoiding dust prone areas will help a lot.
Hope i have answered your question, If your have more feel free to ask.
thank you.
