Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your mothers history and would like to make suggestions for her as follows:1. If she has frequent asthma attacks, I would suggest her regular inhaled corticosteroids via nebulizer. Nebulizer is not a portable equipment though, in that case, I suggest my such patients Metered Dose Inhaler with Spacer Device, which is portable.2. If despite use of inhaled medications, she has worsening problem, please consult your pulmonologist who will review the inhaler therapy and increase the dose of inhalers.3. For occasional symptoms of asthma, I would suggest her nebulization with rescue medications such as levosalbutamol.4. Please give her healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which will improve her immunity.5. Although she is weak and unable to walk, practicing simple slow deep conscious breathing will help her gradually help her lungs also. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to her. Should she have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish your mother the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
