Will Hydromet Syrup Treat Asthma And Coughing Problems?

I have asthma and got over an upper respiratory infection a couple weeks ago. I have still been having asthma and coughing problems. The other weekend, I had an asthma attack, and coughed so hard and so much, that my ribs hurt horribly on the left side. I have been taking 800mg Ibuprofen to quell the pain. A little bit ago I took an Ibuprofen. I have been coughing all night and myVentolin inhaler is not doing the job, so with out thinking, took 2 teaspoons of hydromet syrup that was prescribed to me when I had the respiratory infection. Will I be okay?

Hi,
You are just taking symptomatic treatment rather than actual treatment.
You are having upper respiratory infection with asthma for which you can undergo routine blood investigation with sputum tests and X-ray chest to rule out any other pathology and to know whether it is infective or allergic etiology.
You should take higher antibiotics (quinolones, cephalosporins, or amoxyllin with clavulanic acid) for at least 7 to 10 days with antiallergic antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers or steroids) with NSAIDs on sos basis.
You must consult pulmonologist to take treatment.
