Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She had an asthma attack earlier and her usual 2 puffs of salbutamol didnt help. It got worse and she ended up taking 10 puffs in 5 minutes, which seemed to work. How often can she safely repeat that in a 12-hour period?

Question

I'm really worried because over the past few days, I've been going through some serious shortness of breath, especially in the evenings. There's also this discomfort when I'm breathing, and I hear this sound coming from my chest that feels like congestion. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be taking any medication for it?

Question

I've just been diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma and my doctor prescribed the Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days now, but I haven't really noticed any improvement. How long does it typically take to work? Is there anything else I should be doing, or is it normal to wait a bit longer to see results? Would love some guidance on this.

Question
