See the doctor: It is much easier to fix, before you have full blown asthma attack. Sounds, that you have infection also. Do not delay.

Mgt: Viral illnesses can often trigger worsening of asthma. It is important to follow your asthma action plan. If you are in any distress, I would recommend going to the ED. A virtual appt is available online at healthtap.com/DosanjhMD Code: NCYHPZ
