A. For breathing trouble, several relief options are available depending on the cause. Here are some general suggestions: 1. **Asthma**: - **Inhalers**: Quick-relief (rescue) inhalers like albuterol. - **Long-term control medications**: Inhaled corticosteroids, long-acting beta agonists, leukotriene modifiers. - **Nebulizers**: For more severe cases, a nebulizer can deliver medication as a mist. 2. **Allergies**: - **Antihistamines**: Over-the-counter options like cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin). - **Nasal corticosteroids**: Sprays like fluticasone (Flonase). - **Decongestants**: Short-term use of pseudoephedrine (Sudafed). 3. **Respiratory Infections**: - **Hydration**: Drink plenty of fluids to thin mucus. - **Steam inhalation**: Helps to loosen mucus. - **Rest**: Allows your body to recover. - **Over-the-counter medications**: Cough suppressants or expectorants as needed. 4. **Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)**: - **Bronchodilators**: To open airways. - **Inhaled steroids**: To reduce inflammation. - **Oxygen therapy**: For severe cases. 5. **General Measures**: - **Avoid triggers**: Smoke, pollution, allergens. - **Use a humidifier**: To keep air moist. - **Practice breathing exercises**: Techniques like pursed-lip breathing.
