What is the treatment for mild asthma and severe cough?
Patient: My 18 yr old son has mild asthma but has a deep 'barking' cough and complains of not being able to clear his throat.  He now has a rattle in his lower  front of chest on left hand side when breathing - is there anything he could do tonight to make him more comfortable Doctor: Hi, From history it seems that your son might be having some lower respiratory tract infection precipitating asthma attach.Give him one antibiotic to cure infection.Give him broncho dilator medicine for ease breathing.Give him cough suppressant syrup for dry cough.Ok and take care.
