HelloPopping feeling in the abdomen is due to strain caused by forceful coughing, but this is not a cause of concern. The main cause of concern is cough and asthma. When such patient visit I usually prescribe my patient to take montelukast+ albuterol tablet once or twice in day, according to severity of symptoms. Usually patient respond this treatment very well and don't require any medicine. Since you are an old asthmatic patient, so avoidance is also important. Mite, dust, pollen, hay, fodder, sudden fall and rise of temperature, pests, smokes are certain predisposing factors. Hot coffee and steam also provide some relief in asthma patient.Don't take steroid as far as possible.
