Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

According to your complaints, it could be an acute exacerbation of asthma. You should take nebulization with Asthalin (Salbutamol) thrice daily and Budesonide twice daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Depending on the other medicines which you are taking, an appropriate adjustment needs to be done. You should consult your physician and get yourself clinically examined. Thank you and take care. Regards.
