Hello ItalianZionest...sorry to hear that you have asthma. I don't have it, but my son had asthma all his life, the worst years were from age 2 to age 9 and he went into the hospital often, especially if he caught a cold. A cold would wreak havoc with his lungs, he almost died a few times from his asthma attacks.
You ask about a home remedy and I don't know of any that work. My Mother...meaning well gave bad advise and being a health nut, she was against drugs of any kind and often advised me not to give my son any asthma medications at all. Of course had I listened to her my son would be dead.
One Doctor did mention to me that coffee was good for my asthmatic son along with his medications.
I think the caffein in the coffee stimulates the air sacs and might give some relief.
Asthma is horrible and there are many different triggers. Are you allergic to certain things like grass, or certain foods? Peanut butter created instant asthma attacks for my son, in addition to freshly cut lawns and the cold virus.
Have you asked your Doctor if there are any other options than the drugs he prescribes?
Another option would be for you to wear a surgical mask 24/7 during your bouts of asthma, I know that may look weird, but it would prevent certain allergins from entering your lungs. My son wore a
surgical mask many times during his childhood and it helped, especially if he was playing outdoors.
Steroids have bad side effects, so I hope you can find other options for dealing with your asthma.
Do talk to your doctor again and ask him for other options, you can ask about drinking black coffee and wearing a mask and what foods and allergins you need to avoid if you don't like taking the drugs.
I wish you good health and easier breathing in the future.
Shalom - Dox
