Hello dear, Thank you for your question. In many cases with asthma patients may experience some periods where they symptoms are not fully controlled from therapy. It can be related to changes in air humidity, infections or even stressful situations. In these cases I usually refer my patients to consult a specialist. These doctors who are trained for asthma may add a second or third Chat Doctor.  You may need this course of treatment for a short period and then step back to the basic regimen, in your case Singular. I hope this helped. Best wishes,
