Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Salbutamol is short acting beta 2 agonist (SABA).
It is not for regular maintenance treatment.
And this is the reason why your bronchitis is not controlled.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will definitely improve with long acting inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Indigestion should also be treated simultaneously. So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
