Ive had bad asthma and allergies for about 5 years, and my coughing with flem has just progressed more, and i dont seem to get any relief with inhalers, both daily and for emergency(advair,asthmanex). Also a nebulizer does give me relief, but it makes my throat feel like its closing sometimes after i use it. Is there anything else i can do. Ive taken prednisone to stop inflamation in sinuses but just get temporary relief with awful sideeffects.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms and the treatment which you have tried is suggesting me that you are a known case of chronic asthma for which you have tried all types of medicines. You will get these symptoms whenever you are exposed to the triggering factors like allergens in the form of pollen, dust, mite and food. These medicines can relieve the symptoms, but it cannot cure the disease. I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count to know the presence of the allergic reaction. You can test for allergens like skin prick test and adsorbent test to find out the allergen, and then you decide on immunotherapy, which will help you to control the symptoms. Thank you.
