Patient: sir, my son vasanth  age-17 , he is suffering from some lungs problem. some times he affect heavy breathing problem. its comes one or two times in every year. (in this time no cold ). but he bathing daily in cold  water, goes in very cold weather condition without wearing any masks.drinking only normal coald water. i want best treatment for him . what can i do sir? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Recurrent breathing difficulty in young patient (17 years) is mostly due to allergic asthma.So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. He will need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, he will be alright with all these. Tell him not to drink cold water. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
