Hi, I am Rajiv Kumar Sharma from Kolkata. I am suffering from breathing since 7 or 8 years and used to take theo-asthaline and betnesol tab. One month ago I was admitted in hospital due to asthma attack. Doctors told me that betnesol is steroid and due to that medicine your disease come to this stage. Now I am taking livoline inhaler and two anta allergic medicine. I would like to know that does livoline inhaler contain steroid? How many days can I recover from this disease. Can homeopathy medicine cure from this disease? Thanks & Regards, Rajiv
There seems to be some misunderstanding as to what doctors told you regarding Benson and asthma. The treatment of asthma is with steroids and to minimize the side effects of steroids, they are preferably given in inhaler form rather than oral or injectable steroids. Even then, if symptoms are severe, oral or injectable steroids have to be given. You should consult a pulmonologist who will first establish the diagnosis of asthma and then start you on proper treatment with inhalers. My personal opinion is that homeopathy has no role in management of asthma but then for more, you may consult a homeopath.
