Hi,
For Asthma you should try to avoid causes of Lower respiratory tract infection that can precipitate asthma
For Asthma inhalers are fine but for cough and throat infection use good Antibiotic
An antibiotic such as Cefixime and Antitussive such as Syrup Britanyl for cough and wheeze.
I hope I am successful in solving your query If you have more you can ask me.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Azhar Sattar
