Hello doctor,
I am a 41 year old female. I woke up in the morning with wheezing, throat congestion, and cough. The cough was not dry but with mucus. It looks like the weather has triggered it. I have experienced this condition previously at the same time of the year. I also feel some heaviness in the chest. Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If you are sure you have wheezing, I suggest you start using inhalers having a combination of Salmeterol and Fluticasone propionate. Using a Levosalbutamol inhaler would also be beneficial. Take one puff twice daily for a week and then only one puff at night for a week. For allergy please start antihistamines like Cetirizine or Loratadine. If there is a lot of phlegm, please start mucolytics like N-acetylcysteine 1200 once daily or 600 twice daily.
