Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:
1. If despite using inhaler you are having daily symptoms, it means your asthma is not well controlled. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you daily
montelukast for at least 2-3 months.
2. I would like to know which type of inhaler you are using. If it is salbutamol or
levosalbutamol (which is a rescue inhaler), I would prescribe you a controller type of inhaler (inhaled
corticosteroids) on regular basis for at least 2-3 months.
If you are already taking inhaled corticosteroids, I would increase the dose.
3. Personally I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will suggest you
allergy testing. This may identify substances you are allergic to and also measures to avoid them. An allergist may also suggest you Specific
Allergen Immunotherapy which will affect your immunesystem to improve your allergy symptoms gradually.
4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Please do not smoke if you smoke.
5. Regular
breathing exercise and a healthy diet rich in
vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help you in a longer run.
6. I would also like to know whether you have any other medical illness or you need to take any other regular medications. Some drugs may worsen asthma symptoms.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the heath.
Thank you & Regards.
