Shortness in breath. Kindly suggest.
Hi Doctor,
I am three months pregnant.
Before 3 months , I got acute bronchitis due to viral infection.
Doctor suggested to use the above picture for inhalation.
Now I am getting shortness in breath and dry cough severely.
Can I use the same for inhalation now?
Kindly suggest.
Thank you so much.

Asthma usually gets worsened during pregnancy. Your bronchitis could be Asthma related. The inhaler that you are using is a short acting one and wouldn't be advised for management of symptoms in your condition.

Kindly consult for detailed evaluation and optimised treatment.
