[|Human|] Hi doctor, This is vaidyanathan from chrompet. I am writing here for my mother. she is suffereing from Asthma for the last one year getting treatment but from the very beginning cough does not stops for her. Sheis not able to sleep at night due to heavy cough. she is using the inhaler for the past one week only. We have consulted several doctors all are giving tablets but no response. Pls give a suggestion to cure her cough.
[|AI|]  Hello Vaidyanathan, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I would like to know more about your mother like - What is her age? Does she need to take any other medications regularly/frequently? Does she have any other medical conditions? Does she have any other allergies/nose symptoms/skin symptoms, etc.? Which inhalers and Chat Doctor.  There are two types of inhalers - "reliever" types to be used on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms and "preventer" types - to be used on daily basis irrespective of symptoms.2. Were I treating her, I would suggest her to use both types of inhalers appropriately. I usually prescribe my patients' albuterol/levosalbutamol inhalers as "relievers" and budesonide-formoterol inhalers as "preventers".3. I would also suggest her spirometry with post-bronchodilator reversibility as well as allergy testing. Spirometry will exactly diagnose the kind of respiratory problem she has and also will measure her lung capacity. Allergy testing will help her to know whether she is allergic to particular substances. In such case, avoidance of the substances she is allergic to is the best strategy.3. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes, fumes and air pollution to her.4. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will also help her to improve her lung capacity and immunity respectively. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to her. Should you have any other concern, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your mother the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
