Suggest Treatment For Wheezing And Dry Cough With Asthma
Hi. Ive got a really dry cough that's been bothering me for days now. I used to suffer from asthma but have taken no medication for it since I was approx 15yrs. I'm now 18 and I worried that it might have returned. I also have a cold at the moment and I have wheezing at night. What should I do? Is it just a cold?

People with history of asthma have exacerbations with seasonal viral illness of upper and lower respiratory tracts and allergies of upper respiratory tract
In your case, it seems upper respiratory tract involvement by viral illness/ allergy with mild wheezing due to exacerbation of pre-existing asthma.
take over the counter medication for cough and cold and you need salbutamol inhaler /Bronchodilator Syrup or tablet which is a prescription drug.
symptoms should resolve with in a week
