Specializes in Pulmonology

Mist : Mist patients with recurrent bronchitis every year same time may have asthma that may be seasonal and don't know it. You will need to discuss with your primary care or pulmonologist and get full pulmonary function tests. Depending on your time of symptoms inhalers may be started one month prior to start of symptoms. For example if you have bronchitis every november you could start controlling inhalers in october and use it until your usual duration of symptoms and then stop after u r over the danger zone.
