Maybe: If you have asthma, has your md prescribed albuterol? If so, minor use of it for the wheezing seems like a smart strategy. Feel better!

I'm having flu like symptoms, with a lot of unproductive coughing. The cough reminds me of an asthma related cough, and I'm wheezing. What can I take? Do I need an inhaler to help me breath?

How do I know if my cough is just a cough or bronchitis? No mucus, but I do have wheezing. I have a dry cough whenever I take deep breaths. I do have asthma & have used my rescue inhaler, but no long term help

My "asthma* symptoms have never included a tickly cough until now. Ventolin relieves the cough. Can blue inhalers relieve coughs in non-asthmatics?
