Management consists of: 1. Inhaler-provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction increasing airflow to lungsSo, it can be used during an acute attack. 2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies asthma. 3. Antihistamines can also be used to provide symptomatic relief. 4. Protection from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens. If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Pulmonologist for further management. Wishing him a good health. Thanks take care.
