A member asked:
Have asthma. and it keeps getting worse no matter how much meds im on. now my in halers don't work and have a nebulizer is this good or bad sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with lung doc: This is consistent with persistent asthma. Which can be cured. Check with your lung doc. You may need more inhaled steroids, tiotropium, laba, saba and possibly ige antagonist. Nebulizers and sprays do a similar job. Ask your doc about inhalation techniques.
