15. From how long you are facing this problem?
Can you tell me something about your symptoms?

Ok, now I will be telling you everything in detail.
REGARDING DISEASE
ASTHMA- is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the
airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms,
reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm
Symptoms include
wheezing, cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath.
16. REGARDING DRUGS
Full course of antibiotics should be taken
Don't miss any dose
Avoid taking theophylline with caffeine
Any seizures ,nausea ,coughing up of blood etc if seen
are side effects of theophylline and if she experienced it
should be stopped
While inhaling ipratropium bromide, it should be
prevented from going into eyes, since it can cause
irritation and blurred vision .
After inhalation the patient should clean her mouth to
avoid throat irritation and dry mouth.
17. REGARDING LIFE STYLE MODIFICATION
Avoid vigorous exercises and cool places since
can cause asthma.
Plenty of water should be taken since they keep
body's cells functioning properly, and helps
keep the mucus in the airways loose. Eight
glasses of water a day is recommended. Healthy food choices
include: adding more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and cold
food, fried items as they can cause cough.
When you feel out of breath, or become tired, stop what you're
doing and sit down.
Rest helps to keep your airways relaxed, and allows you to breathe
easier.
Exercises like morning walk and yoga should be done regularly as
they can improve breathing
Avoid getting in contact with substances like dust,flowers,animal,
cigarette smoke, fog etc.
