I have bronchitis and the guy gave me a inhaler called asmol and when ever I use it my breathing gets worse what does that mean? And I can t cough laugh or sneeze like before I could do it with my lower abdominal hurting but its gotten to the point where I can t do it now and sometimes I get the same feeling of abdominal pain just under my ribs ?
Hi, If you are suffering from acute bronchitis then you would require antibiotics (quinolones or accolades or cephalosporins or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) and bronchodilators like beta agonists (albuterol or terbutaline), anticholinergics like ipratropium bromide or aminophylline with nebulization and steam inhalation. Asmol is a albuterol bronchodilator, and it can be used in treatment of bronchospasm. If your breathing gets worsened after taking it then ii could be due to allergy to that particular Chat Doctor. Consult your pulmonologist for further advise. This all above might have to be given for at least 7 to 10 days to resolve the symptoms. Your abdominal pain could be due to your breathing difficulty leading to rise in intra-abdominal pressure. So, dont worry about that.
