Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Cold acts as a trigger for wheezing.
MOnteleucast a leutriene antagonist daily at bed time prevents attacks.
Ebastine an antiallergic medication reduces nasal allergy and prevents attacks.
Beta agonist like salbutamol inhalation will abort an attack.
Steroids reduce inflammation and controls severe asthma.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
