In seasonal change first i got running nose then after two three days later i fell not free beathing, but there is no cough its only think saliva kind of things.How can i confirm that i am asthmatic patent ? PFT is showing clear lung, some doc are saying bronchial allergy. Some doc are saying that its bronchial asthma , they are getting spasm in lungs by stethoscope . last year i took deriphyllin and montair for 2 weeks and then there was no problem. so i discontinue this medicine. Now i am getting the same problem, i visited another doctor he prescribied me monatir, prednisolon tab and salmeterol & fluticasone proprionate inhalation. Now i want to know which is better medication for longer treatmeant, Deriphylin or Prednisolon?
Hi Thanks for your query. Normal PFT doe snot mean that you don't have asthmatic diagnosis of asthma is more of clinical than PFT findings your doctor found spasm and your symptom has a seasonal variation bronchial asthma is most likely long term basis neither deriphyllin nor prednisolone is appropriate systemic steroid is hardly used in asthma unless there is exacerbation.
