If your reliever isn't working and you are struggling breathing then you should seek medical help

You need to get urgent advice from your doctor or asthma nurse. Are you in a preventer?

You need to get medical advice.

If your inhaler isnt helping to open up your airways and make your breathing better than u need to see a doctor or go to a and e. Your might need a nebuliser, steriods or antiobotics but only a medical professional will know. Please get help asap do not leave it if you arw struggling to breathe Chances are your breathing will get worse without help.

Hi have you been to the GP? If not please go and get checked out.

Check out my reply to Jess33.

In addition rubbing oil (olive or coconut) on your chest, back & front helps. If somebody else is doing it, they could tap your chest by forming a cup with the hand and tapping all around. Lie on your front and tap back, then do the front and the sides. This will help to loosen the phlegm. Steam inhalations help too. If you do not have blood pressure problems, eat liquorice - the black ones from liquorice allsorts are fine.
