Asking for Other, Male, 35 years old, Abroad
Assalamualaikum Doctor. Patient is 35 years of age, seasonal asthma. He uses face masks when breathing is difficult. Also has sneazing issue after waking up in the morning. Now, for the past few days he is having difficulty breathing with coughing. When coughing increases with phelgum, there is sometime traces of blood. It all started with throat pain and than breathing issues. It becomes extremely inconvenient at night. Sometimes, wakes up coughing and complains of breathing. Also, severe problem of snoring. Please guide me, i am in China and explaining this to a doctor is a huge issue.
He is having severe asthma with infection. He needs tests and inhalers
Asthmatic attacks are sometime difficult to predict. At times patient may be in much trouble. It seems patient has not learnt adequately about his asthma and how to act during attacks. This patient needs urgent rescue medicine in the form of inhalers, nebulizer, etc. And also to contact nearby dr for help. He also needs education about his long term management. Should not take it casual. But if properly understood his disease it becomes quite easy to handle most of the times.

Thankyou so much doctor for your detailed response.
He is currently taking antibiotics but I want him to start inhaler/nebulizer.
Can you please guide me regarding that.
I know it is extremely difficult to diagnose and prescribe in this situation but I am very much tensed.

And choosing inhaler is the job of ur dr. He wil evaluate the patient and will decide accordingly. Patient management is not possible online.

The best thing is to see a Pulmonologist and follow his advise it is difficult to advise without proper physical examination
Patient seems to be exposed to some pathogen foreign to this country. Sputum cs can be done although the antibiotics have been started already. May be there is fungal infection of some kind. It is better to do the chest x ray.
Consult with a pulmonolgist pt should have sputum culture.
