Stalin inhaler-provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)So, it can be used during an episode of acute attack.2. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of asthma.3. Antihistamines & Anti-tussive preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.4. Amoxicillin 500 mg taken thrice a day can be helpful in controlling the infection, however it is always advisable to start a course of antibiotic depending on culture & sensitivity reports.5.
