A member asked:

What can i do for wheezing and coughing and it doesn't stop when i use my nebulizer or my inhaler?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get treated : It sounds like you have moderate asthma that would require inhaled steroids. Don't sit in this. Do see a physician, find out what stage asthma you're in, & get treated right away. Hope that helps.
