Hailing is quite challenging.Coughing and bronchitis are more common. What should I do

Frequent wheezing, cough, and repeated Bronchitis may indicate an underlying problem like Asthma or airway sensitivity. You should avoid dust, smoke, and cold air, drink warm fluids, and do simple steam inhalation daily to ease symptoms. Since this is recurring, it?s important to get a proper check-up and lung function test to start the right long-term treatment.

Breathing issues have been present every night for the past seven or eight years. Every day, I use Naso Gest, which suggests that I see an AIMS physician.

Long-term night-time breathing difficulty for 7-8 years, especially needing daily nasal drops like Nasogest, may be due to chronic nasal blockage such as Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, or even a deviated septum. Continuous use of decongestant drops can actually worsen blockage over time, so it?s important to stop unsupervised use and switch to safer options like saline sprays or prescribed steroid sprays. Please consult an ENT specialist (as advised) for proper evaluation and long-term treatment rather than relying on daily drops.

I am an asthma patient, and my Salbutamol (Asthalin) inhaler is not improving my breathing. Given that I have a past history of treated tuberculosis, what alternative asthma medications or inhalers should I consider?

Since your quick-relief inhaler (salbutamol) is not helping, please consult your doctor promptly, as this indicates your asthma is currently uncontrolled. Given your history of treated tuberculosis, your doctor will want to ensure your symptoms are not related to any past lung scarring. Typically, for better control, doctors recommend daily preventer inhalers rather than relying solely on quick-relief medicine. Common options include a combination of an inhaled corticosteroid (like fluticasone or budesonide) and a long-acting bronchodilator (like salmeterol or formoterol) to reduce airway swelling. Please seek a professional medical evaluation to safely find the right treatment plan for you.

Three years ago, I had surgery to remove gallblader stones. After the surgery, I am experiencing wheezing. My respiratory system malfunctions when climbing high steps. No sugar, no blood pressure

Wheezing and breathlessness after your Cholecystectomy are usually not directly related to the surgery and may be due to conditions like Asthma or reduced lung fitness. Since you feel symptoms while climbing steps, it could be exercise-induced breathing difficulty. Try slow breathing exercises, regular walking, and avoid triggers such as dust or cold air. It?s important to consult a doctor for lung function tests to confirm the cause and start proper treatment.

I am a chronic asthma patient. Could you advise me on which inhaler would be suitable?

The most suitable inhaler depends on the severity and type of your asthma, but commonly a combination of a daily inhaled steroid (e.g., budesonide or fluticasone) and/or a rescue bronchodilator (e.g., salbutamol) is used. Ask your doctor to tailor the inhaler type and dose to your symptoms and breathing tests.

I am having breathing difficulties due to asthma. What should I do?

Use your reliever inhaler immediately as prescribed and sit upright to make breathing easier. Try to stay calm, breathe slowly, and avoid any triggers such as smoke, dust, or strong smells. Monitor your symptoms closely, and if you do not improve within a few minutes or if you experience severe shortness of breath, bluish lips, or chest tightness, seek medical attention immediately.

I have asthma and a persistent cough that has not improved despite using a salbutamol inhaler, salbutamol tablets, theophylline, and omeprazole. Are there any injectable medications or other treatments I can take for relief?
