What can I do?

[Chip_y2kuk]

Been coughing heavily since Friday so went the docs on Monday who listened to my chest and said I didn't have a chest infection but she could hear wheezing and that I was having an asthma flare up/exacerbation (she suggested it could be some sort of virus or the hot/cold damp air) advised me to double up on the fostair (from 4 puffs a day to 8 puffs a day) and go heavy on the ventolin (every time I had a coughing fit, which at the minute is a lot)

Is there anything else I can do to regain control? shorten the length of the cough? get me peak flow back to where it should be? old herbal cures?

Thanks

Chip

I sympathise totally! I was like this a few weeks ago . It's horrible. Steam and eucalyptus inhalation really helped me and drinking warm lemon ginger and honey to soothe throat. Hope you feel better soon .
