hi ,this is rabia. I had a frequent symptoms of bad cough from almost a year.I was coughing(with mucous) a lot from last few days so i visited doctor, he suspected that i have asthma so he asked me to get x-rays done.From the reports he confirmed that and prescribed me an inhaler and an antibiotic.  I work as a early childhood educator in a daycare.i was never sick before i joined  daycare.Is it from working with kids .Should i continue working in daycare because i am really fed up from being sick all the time and coughing ?Is this curable or i have to live with inhaler and these antibiotics throughout my life?
Hi, Asthma is a breathing disorder which is mostly allergic in origin. There is difficulty in exhalation producing a weeping sound. Sometimes infections produce same symptoms which is labelled as Bronchitis.  I feel you need more investigations apart from x-ray. Like HBO, CBC, MX test, allergy tests, culture of sputum if needed. This Wii confirm your diagnosis also the line of treatment.  Do you have family H/O asthma or allergies? Even if it turns out to be asthma -pl. don't be depressed-there are wonder Chat Doctor.
