Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are not improving because of you are not taking correct treatment for asthma.
Ventorlin is short acting bronchodilator. It's action lasts for only 4 hours.
It is advisable to take long acting beta 2 agonist (LABA) (formoterol or salmeterol) with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial in asthma.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss about starting these medications.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
