Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Asthma is allergic in nature.
So you might be allergic to some foods also.
So better to first get done food allergy test and if you find allergic to any food than you should avoid that in your diet.
Overall as a asthma patient you should follow these dietary advice.
1. Avoid Hot and spicy food. Oily and fatty food. This is because these kind of foods can cause GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and this can worsen asthma.
2. Avoid stale food. Eat only freshly prepared food.
3. Take high protein diet like pulses, protein powder, milk etc.
4. Take anti oxidant rich food like fruits, green leafy vegetables etc.
Along with good diet, you should also take your oral drugs and inhalers regularly.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
