### output:

Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your nephews' history. I would like to know more details like - What is age of your nephew? Since how long has he had asthma? What are his symptoms? Does he have fever? Etc. However, from your given history, I would like to make suggestions for him as follows:1. Augmenting and Ventolin can be taken together. They do not interact with each other. Common side effects of Ventolin inhaler are tremors, palpitation (feeling own heartbeats), etc. Common side effects of Augmenting are stomach upset, mild diarrhea, vomiting, allergic reaction, etc. If he is not having these side effects, he can take them.2. Augmenting is an antibiotic, so unless he has a suspected infection, personally I would not suggest him Augmenting for asthma symptoms. It may be unnecessary if he does not have symptoms of infection.3. To make suggestions for asthma control, I would like to know frequency and duration of asthma symptoms, other medicines he uses for asthma, etc. 4. I would suggest him to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) will be helpful to him in a long run. Hope above suggestions and points will be helpful to him. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your nephew a quick recovery and the best of the health. Thank you & Regards.
