Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history.

I would like to ask you a few more questions like - Do both of you have nose symptoms (nasal congestion, sneezing, etc) apart from asthma? What is the frequency of asthma attacks?

However, from your given history, I would like to make suggestions to both of you as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you montelukast on regular basis to control asthma.

2. If you have nose symptoms also, I would add an antihistamine like levocetirizine/cetirizine to above treatment.

3. I would suggest both of you allergy testing which will help you to know the substances that cause troubles to you and also to know the measures to avoid them.

4. Please try to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

5. Regular breathing exercise and a nutritive diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help you in a long run.

6. If above measures do not help sufficiently, I would consider regular inhalers for asthma control.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to both of you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish both of you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
