Question

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor suggested I get a PFT to see if I have asthma. Lately, I've been having a cough or cold that lasts for about 25 days, even though I'm taking Ebast M almost every day. Is there anything I should do to prepare for the PFT? Should I stop taking Ebast M before the test or is it fine to continue with it?
