I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to use my rescue inhalers. I usually use Ventolin when my asthma acts up, but switch to Bricanyl when it's really bad since it has a higher dose. But then I get these side effects like a sore, irritated throat and coughing. I've tried using fewer puffs, but that doesn't seem to help with the asthma symptoms. Any advice on how to manage this better?

View allI've been dealing with a cough for about a week now, and it's starting to make it hard for me to breathe. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a respiratory infection. I recommend taking Robitussin or Mucinex to help relieve your cough and improve your breathing. These medications can help loosen mucus and make coughing more productive. Additionally, you may consider using a humidifier at home to help ease your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you will need a strong course of antibiotics, for which your need to go to the hospital.

I'm really worried about my mom, she's 63 and has had asthma for a long while. Lately, she's been having trouble with her breathing and she's also been getting headaches. We went to the hospital and got an X-ray, ECG, and COVID test done, and thankfully, everything came back normal. But I'm still concerned and thinking of keeping her on oxygen at home for a bit because I'm afraid of the risks at the hospital. Can you tell me how to get an oxygen cylinder for home use and what precautions I should take?
give asthma medications instead of oxygen
