Suggest Remedy For Shortness Of Breath And Strong Coughing

I was diagnosed with asthma upon being born. Its generally excersize enduced with cold weather, but recently ive been in england for a few weeks now and im experiencing shortness of breath and some strong coughing, usually taking a deep breath allows me to hear a wheezing noise or a very high pitched sound upon exhaling. I dont have my inhaler and havent needed ut for years im not too sure what this is?Also coughing gives me this weird feeling under my ribs or behind them that I have to itch.

Hello
Airways hyperresponsivenss due to inflammatory disease or due to allergy ,produces wheezing , shortness of breath , cough late in the night or early in the morning and is known as ASTHMA.
Mite , dust , fine dusting powder, hay , sudden change in temperature , pollen, molds , pests ( , cockroaches ). smoking ( active or passive ) are certain predisposing factor of asthma .
When such patient visit my clinic I advise them to take montelukast+bambuterol tablet once or twice in day according to severity of symptoms .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide relief.
Since you are also having cough , so you may need dextromethophan + cholpheniramine maleate syrup.
As you mentioned that you are also having pain underneath ribs , so also get in X ray chest to rule out any pleural effusion under ribs.
Consult a physician and get his opinion.
