Dr. Saha :

Hello, Welcome to Just Answer. Which inhaler are you using? Any test taken? Is there any previous disease? When did you consult doctor last? Thank you.

Dr. Saha :

Pl use reply

Customer : I'm using albuterol. Im pretty sure I just had a cold so I didn't go to a doctor this time. No previous illness or disease known.
Dr. Saha :

Wheezing suggests there is constriction of bronchi or air passages.

Dr. Saha :

There can be infection in bronchi or lungs.

Dr. Saha :


I would advise to get an examination by doctor.

Doctor can then decide about tests after physical examination.

Dr. Saha :

You may need tests like blood counts, chest X ray etc.

Customer : Would you suggest I go to a doctor tonight or tomorrow?
Dr. Saha :

Then doctor can adjust your medicine.

Dr. Saha :

When the wheezing has just started it suggests that you need an urgent examination.

Dr. Saha :

It can get worse over time without treatment

Customer : Thank you
Dr. Saha :


You are always welcome to Just Answer Website.

Best of health.
