asthma and a cold
My asthma has been controlled without meds for over a year. I just got a cold which is now exacerbating the asthma. Can I use the symbicort that I used to use when I got a cold or should I use the Asmanex that was my controller medication, or something else?
Use your reliever as needed until you can make an apointment with your doctor. He might switch you to a different dose than you were using on those meds before.
You can use for an asthma plan and in it would explain what you can do in the case of a future cold - whether he/she wants you to increase or start a different medication when you start to get sick.
Hope you are feeling better!
