HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are wheezing, you need to consider the use of your inhalors. The reliever inhalor would help with your present bronchospasm but since you have an infection, the dose of your preventer may have to been increased.

You may also need prednisolone to help with this acute attack, it would be best to be reviewed by the doctor who can assess the severity of the asthmatic attack.

IN addition to altering the dose of your inhalors and the use of prednisolone, you may need a mucolytic agent to help break up the mucus in your chest.
These may be available over the counter, your local pharmacist would let you know what is available in the area.

I hope this helps
