Asthalin+ Seroflo inhaler- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)So, you can use it whenever you are having an acute attack.2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of asthma. This will also give protection from recurrent allergy.3. Antihistamines like Cetrizine can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.4. Need for anti biotics can arise if there is a secondary infection. But this should be taken only under the guidance of your Physician.5. Steam inhalation & deep breathing exercises.6. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.7. Also protect yourself from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens.If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Pulmonologist for complete clinical examination including Pulmonary Function Tests.Wish you a good health.Take care.
