Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having cobweb like feeling in lungs, some rattling (crackling, congestive) in the lungs, we should definitely see for your asthma control.
Uncontrolled asthma can cause similar kind of symptoms without cough and breathlessness.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT is must to know the severity of asthma.
And treatment of asthma is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) on the basis of reports.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
