I have chronic asthma and I had to be hospitalized 5 times last year. I'm doing better. But asthma is not something that you should try to treat over the counter. But if you must say clear of Ephedrine. That stuff almost killed me.

No!

You need to go to a Pulmonologist. After some testing, he will prescribe exactly what you need.
Asthma treatment is nothing to drag your heels on.

Asthma cannot be treated with otc medications. You need to consult a Pulmonary Medicine specialist. Always prefer Inhalers over tablets.
