Suggest Remedy For Severe Coughing And Wheezing
Question: I have allergies to about everything all my life and I have adjusted to that fine, but two weeks going on three weeks I mowed yard (large) and since then have cough, wheezing. Thought it was allergies so would be okay as soon as it we have freeze or moisture which we have had, still coughing and wheezing, not as bad as in the beginning.
Brief Answer:
Better to start inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic bronchitis is more. Usually it should subside in 1-2 days once allergen exposure is stopped.
But sometimes, if large amount of allergens are inhaled then they will cause more damage and prolonged inflammation. And this needs inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
So in your case, I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You will definitely improve with inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs orally is also beneficial in your case.
Hope I have solved your.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
