Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having acute exacerbation of asthma. And most common cause for this is lung infection. So your lung infection is not fully resolved and this is the reason for your uncontrolled symptoms. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) to know the severity of asthma. 3. Sputum culture and sensitivity report. This will isolate the causative organism so that appropriate antibiotic can be given. You may need additional inhaled bronchodilators according to severity of asthma. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
