Hello Vaidyanathan, Thank you for asking at HCM. I would like to know more about your mother like - What is her age? Does she need to take any other medications regularly/frequently? Does she have any other medical conditions? Does she have any other allergies/nose symptoms/skin symptoms, etc? Which inhalers and drugs she is using/she has used? From your given history, I would suggest her as follows: 1. There are two types of inhalers - reliever types to be used on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms and preventer types - to be used on daily basis irrespective of symptoms. 2. Were I treating her, I would suggest her to use both types of inhalers appropriately. I usually prescribe my patients salbutamol/levosalbutamol inhalers as relievers and budesonide-formoterol inhalers as preventers . 3. I would also suggest her spirometry with post-bronchodilator reversibility as well as allergy testing. Spirometry will exactly diagnose the kind of respiratory problem she has and also will measure her lung capacity. Allergy testing will help her to know whether she is allergic to particular substances. In such case, avoidance of the substances she is allergic to is the best strategy. 3. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes, fumes and air pollution to her. 4. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help her to improve her lung capacity and immunity respectively. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to her. Should you have any other concern, please feel free to ask at HCM. Wish your mother the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
