I am 23 year old female. I'm known asthmatic since childhood and had been mild and not frequent. Recently I contracted covid 3 months ago and from day-10, asthma attacks started everyday. I used seroflo 250 twice a day for almost 15 days. Then I was put on oral steroids for 10 days, preventive inhaler and montemac lc by doctor. Despite the use of oral steroids, it was persistent. Then I was advised to use budesonide inhalers and montemac lc everyday. Now its been 3 months, if ever I miss montemac lc/inhalers even a single day, I feel shortness in my breath and so much of pressure/tightness in my chest. Recently montemac lc is replaced with montair fx because of dizziness problem. My questions are 1) how long do I need to take montair fx? Is there any remedy? 2) since its been 3 months post covid, is taking covid vaccine advisable? If so what kind of precautions do I take?

Hello lybrate-user, nice to hear you. Covid attack on respiratory system every body knows, and you had weak point in your lungs that's why it increased sevearity, never less, I am not a toll suggesting to take steroids and inhalers, you need proper ayurvedic care along with panchakarma it will reduce and finish your dependency on that medication. Advice - pranayam, light breathing exercises, light food, avoid junk totally. Apply til oil daily on your chest abdomen and back and give take bath after that with luke warm water.

Yes you can go for vaccination. 1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term consult online with details.
