Hello sir, since you got an opinion from a chest physician with inhalers he might have asthma or something related to airways. The inhalers are to relive the symptoms if taken in the right way and regularly. To confirm the diagnosis some tests like PFT might be required. In Asthma mostly the chest X ray will be normal. Some details about the history also required to help the patient . ENT and Pulmo go hand in hand. He can have both.
