How To Treat Asthma ?

vanakkam, i am pasupathilingam, aged 61, suffering asthma for the past 40 years. it was so acute during the last 3 years. i am taking allopathic medicines regularly during the past. i took Betnelan Tabs during 1975 to 1986 regularly during every night. i was ok then. After that i took medicine from Navshathi Aushathalaya Bangalore. for about 6-7 years and due to that my skin became black. Then i stopped that medicine. After that I was taking Theo Asthalin Tabs regularly and taking Asthalin Inhaler for 3 to 4 times daily. During acute attacks i used to take Decadran and Deriphilline injections. Then I took Acupuncture treatment from Dr. Fazlurman at Chennai. during 1996 to 1996 and felt some improvement. Due to my office pressure i was not able to continue. Even I am taking Theo Asthalin Tabs thrise a day with inhaler puffs and taking Decadran and Deriphilline injections at heavy wheezing. And now I am taking Homoeopathic medicines for the past two years. Now i feel the attacks are so reduced The intensity of the wheezing is very low. However, i have become addict to the use of inhalers. My homoeopathist advises to control my self the usage of inhalers so that the medicine should act fast within me. But I am unable to follow eventhough my wheezing is very very mild one. But except that i do not have heart, uriniery pressure problems Even my vision is so normal. I request you to give me suggestions as to whether(1) i can fully recover from the asthma. (2) is there siddha medicines which can improve me, (3) shall i take supportive products during the progress of alternative therapy(homoeo) (4) and further, i am now residing at Chidambaram, Tamilnadu and whereas i have to shift myself to Bangalore where it so cold. It is my annoyance whether i can survive there with my asthma. Kindly reply me doctor.
with regards

Hi,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.

For query 1:Asthma is a chronic airway disease which has no permanent cure but if you take modern medicine (allopathy) as advised by respiratory medicine specialist,the chance of having good asthma control is greater than any other of treatment methods.

Query 2: This is not wise to comment over herbal medications since I am a physician of modern medicine. But I can assure you that modern medicine is the most scientific method of treatment in which sometime raw materials are also processed from herbs.

Query 3: No, you will not require to take alternative medications if you follow physician's advise properly.

Query 4: If cold is a trigger of your asthma, then you better think once more before shifting to cold region.

For asthma management, we follow step care management according to patient’s disease status.So my suggestion is: Please consult with a respiratory medicine specialist to confirm the diagnosis (by clinical features, physical examinations, objective test etc) and get treated accordingly.

Hope this answers your query. Wish you good health.
