I have atopic asthma associated with breathing difficulty and wheezing. Should I use an inhaler?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from childhood bronchial asthma and now from allergic rhinitis. Some triggering factors like pollen, dust, smoke, animal dander and climate changes can aggravate asthma. It is a seasonal attack. After passing the season, the asthmatic patient will feel better as the triggering factors have been subsided. Also, triggering factors may lead to allergies, allergic rhinitis, or pre asthmatic status. Antihistamines like the tablet Zaditen that contains Ketotifen may help to control allergic status. As you are currently using medications like tablet Zaditen, it cannot control your allergic rhinitis. So you can add some other medicines like long-acting histamine called tablet Fexofenadine instead of tablet Zaditen and leukotriene receptor antagonists like tablet Montelukast, etc. Again, you can add corticosteroids orally for few days if both tablet Fexofenadine and tablet Montelukast fail to control your symptoms. According to the severity, you can use intra nasal corticosteroids too. Wearing a mask while going outside, avoiding triggering factors that can aggravate your allergic or asthma status, taking some medications will help you control your asthma status. Take care. In case of any other query, ask me.
