Dear patient
inhalers are the main stay of medications in bronchial asthma which needs to be taken correctly as per your doctors advice. get lung function test to assess the control of the disease.
your WBC count is normal. if it is more than reference range it indicates infection
your asthma may be allergic. get evaluated by allergy specialist who can identify the triggers and advice IMMUNOTHERAPY, which is permanent cure for the allergy. your medications usage and disease severity will come down
