Hello,

Asthma is a form of allergic response of the airway.
In your case infection of the upper and lower airways.
The infection should be treated completely for the asthma to be controlled.
Symptomatic improvement of asthma depends on the duration of treatment.
I may take a week or two.
Consult your doctor for more information.
