Persisting Cough, Asthma. Taking Salbutamil And Becotide. Symptoms Not Going. Do I Have Allergy?
I am in UK. I have this cough started a year ago on and off. I also have asthma , use becotide and salbutamol inhalers. on second course of steroids. started today, took first lot within half an hour I coughed up a lot of clear mucus . chest clear, temp ok, blood o2 sats 98%. but I am coughing until I vomit . all that comes up is clear mucus everyone. I am als constantly clearing my throat. Is this the asthma, do I have an allergy. Sometimes eating dry food or spicey food or just breathing in can trigger a coughing fit too. I am tired, worn out and feel like my GP is not taking this seriously. thank you

It is allergy
You take antiallergics instead of anti asthmatics
Stop all milk and milk products
take fexofenadine 120 mg twice a day
tab singular 10 mg thrice a day
syp asthalin 1 tsf tds
Syp (codeine +CPM) 1 tsf night
do for 10 days
