Suffering With Asthma, Stay In Cold Climate Area, Have Frequent Wheezing, Dyspnea, Temporary Relief With Seroflo Powder Inhaler. Suggestion?
i am an asthmatic. i was diagnosed at 14 yrs of age. it exacerbates in cold climates and when exposed to dust. right now i am 26 yrs old and i study in a cold place. my asthma is pretty bad now, with frequent wheezing and dyspnea . i was placed on seroflo powder inhalors, and it reduced dramatically, with no episodes. i tapered down the meds. now,after 2 weeks, the asthmas is back, and i was wondering if there were any side effects to prolonged usage of this medicine. kindly advice...

It seems you are on inadequate and irregular treatment for asthma. You have to take seroflo regularly whether you are having symptoms or not. Also take a reliever puff like asthalin or duolin 3 to 4 times a day. If symptoms persist add a monteleukast and doxyphyllin to your regime and a short course of steroids for 5 to 7 days. Protect yourself from cold and any known allergens.
