Diagnosed With Asthmatic Bronchitis, Shortness Of Breath, Coughing, Fever, Chest Pain. On Asthalin, Formoterol. Sufficient?

Hello, I am 21 years old. I was diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis when i was 2. Since then i had this problem of shortness of breath, coughing, fever and chest pain. I always had it. However, when i reached 15, all of the symptoms were gone as i was regularly taking drugs. So, i felt fine for 6 years till now.

Almost 6 months ago, i started having shortness of breath and pain in my left chest although no fever or coughing was there.. It increased so i consulted a doctor. He gave me the usual medicines, amoxycillin, asthalin, budecort and formoterol fumurate and budesonide inhaler. Then 2 month ago, it was gone completely. But 2 weeks ago, i started having shortness of breath again and pain in my left chest although no fever or coughing was there. The condition became severe. The doctor gave me the exactly same medicine except that he gave me azithromycin this time in spite of amoxycillin. It had been 2 weeks and i was taking the medicine regurlarly but nothung improved. So, i consulted another doctor yesterday. He gave me Medrol, pentocid and montair lc and he gave me some injection as well which i dont know.

I am feeling extremely week, i can not even write properly, their has been constant pain in my joints and muscles but i am feeling a bit better. Although the chest pain is there and i start having the shortness every hour rather than constantly.

I have been dealing with this from a long time. Please help me out. Can there be a permanent solution?

Hi thanks for using HCM.

I appreciate for your complete proper explanation. With your history yor are suffering from asthma. I suggest you to get done one spirometry and hemogram for the complete diagnosis. With all these drugs you are taking repetation and excess of steroids. Kindly consult your doctor with all the medication and ask to titer the dosage. You will require long acting bronchodilator (Formeterol) in combination with a inhalational steroid (budesonide). Get the appropriate dose after discussing with doctor. To add on this take tab Montelukast 10 mg plain without any combination of antihistamine (levo cetrizine) and tab pantocid with domperidone daily at bed time for a weak. This will cure you. Hope I answered your question

Hi,
I feel you need a chest physicians consultation,along with allergy testing,blood counts,xray chet to have a clear idea of the underlying problem.
After that -
- take medicines regularly as prescribed.-few antibiotics, brochodialators,cough syrups,To start with now a days routine inhailers for maintance dose/preventive measure are preferred. Newer medicines make the lives normal, pl. dont worry.
- try avoid allergens/ get desesatisation treatment from allergy soecialist.
- be protected from exposure to cold
- try to improve your respiratory capacity by doing respiratory exercises( Pranayama)
-eat light, healthy diet.
Adapt positive attitude & be happy.
Take care.
Thank you.
