Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. As you have asthma, for such wheezing episodes, I would suggest you to use albuterol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis. It will relieve your wheezing symptoms.2. If such episodes occur frequently, I would suggest you to consult your physician who will start or increase asthma controller medications such as montelukast and inhaled corticosteroids.3. I would also suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollen, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. It will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you and also to know how to avoid them. 4. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms.5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.6. Regular exercise and a healthy diet will also help you in a long run by improving lung capacity and immunity respectively. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
