A member asked:

What do you suggest to relieve asthma during a chest cold?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Asthma: Usually upper respiratory infections can trigger asthma and increased the dose of medications you use usually helps, under the guidance of your physician. A rescue inhaler is also used for acute relief of attacks. I suggest you seen an allergist if you have not seen one yet to better manage your asthma.
