Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Chest Infection
I was diagnosed with asthma a few months ago and recently got a cold and chest infection. In the past 6 days, I have taken 7 asthma attacks and have started coughing up a lot of orange mucos. Also I have a strange taste of chlorine when I cough it up. Could this be from using the inhaler a lot because the attacks?
