When Asthma Attacks... but thanks to Flixotide and Ventolin Salbutamol

Asthma- you may have it when you were a child and ended up not having it anymore or the other way around. 

Eversince i was a young kid, my asthma always attacks when i have colds, when dust strikes my nosetrils and when i smell strong perfumes... darn! It really does make me suffer. Anyway, when i know my asthma's coming.. my breathing's just simply narrowed and too bad to feel that it just kept me breath for more air. As if a feather is tickling my throat and definitely would then cause me the urge to ask for more air. Well, everything about asthma is scientific and many medicine nowadays as related to it. Either to cure it or just make you feel better.

I wrote this blog because as of the time i woke up this morning and felt that asthma's on it's way. I felt the difficulty of breathing and know that my phlegm's the cause of it since i have colds for 3 days. 

Yesterday, I already took ZYRTEC Citerizine- an anti-allergy drug because of the perfume of my brother wherein i smelled it in the entire house. Thinking that allergy's starting to attack me, i took the zyrtec and after a while I felt better and was able to have a good sleep. The following day, i thought i was better but i was even worse, I felt that asthma's going to strike me again after centuries of not having it.

So i stood up and i made a cup coffee because I know that hot water with anything of my choice does work to ease my breathing but sad to say, it didn't work for me today. 

Thinking of managing everything without any medicines, i then made a tea. 

A hot tea with 7 limes and a tablespoon of sugar. It did work well for a while compared to coffee but still my asthma's still there. I waited for an hour and wishing that the tea would actually work as magic but like the coffee, it did not do anything. I kept on coughing and had this breathing sound of asthma person. Since i have no choice, medicines are my last resort. So my dad and i went to the Drugstore (Mercury Drugstore) and bought a:

 Nasal Spray (FLUTICASONE FLIXOTIDE) and an Ihaler (SALBUTAMOL VENTOLIN). I was using this before but i lost my pouch bag  where i was placing these two. The Nasal Spray= P1121.00 and the Inhaler=P406.75. When i got home I eventually used the two. I used the inhaler first. I puffed it  and inhaled deeply for 20secs and after 20secs, that was the only time that i exhaled. It's because I wanted the med to reach my alveoli  before i exhale.  I did this 2 times. This can be used 2x every 8 hours with intervals of 15secs each. After the inhaler, i then used the Flixotide. I sprayed it in each of my nosetrils then inhaled. This spray is very powerful. It can even stops colds when it's about to start but beware of using this more than once a day because using this more than once daily can actually cause GLAUCOMA. So use this 1x a day in each nosetrils. After 20mins i felt much better. I was able to breath completely without that weird sound.

 Thanks to these 2!

I hesitated to try these two but since my mom, who is currently a Nurse-Doctor, was the one who suggested this. I have no choice but to follow her...
