Hi. I have asthma, too, and a common cold can make me miserable for weeks. It is rare that I get through a cold without a trip to my asthma specialist. Your Mom should see her doctor. Antibiotics will probably not work because it is most likely a virus. However, if it has gone on for more than 10 days most doctors will prescribe something just in case it is bacterial. She should monitor her breathing levels and take her meds exactly as prescribed. I have found that menthol (Halls) cough drops help with the dry hacking cough. My doctor prescribes cough medicine (with codeine) and an asthma med called Q-Var when my coughing is bad and my breathing levels are low.
I hope this helps some and your Mom feels better soon.

no remedies for asthma, but drinking hot tea is comforting - NOT chamomile tea though, can be dangerous to people with asthma.
THERA-FLU is an over the counter cold treatment - it helps the symptoms. the nighttime version should quiet the cough enough that she can sleep.
it is a powder, lemon flavored, you mix it with hot or boiling water. I add sugar (some people add honey) and it tastes like hot lemonade.
but she needs to check the ingredients, in case she shouldn't have some of the stuff in it.
but i have asthma, and it helps me when i have a cold or flu.

Hopefully your mother is on some kind of steroid for her respiratory problems. Unfortunately there is no way to completely get rid of her asthma, but make sure she is very careful not to leave the house without her inhaler since she is sick. There is greater risk of pneumonia now since she is sick and it is getting closer to winter.Health Question & Answer

1. Give her some type of tea with a dash of ginger, beacuse ginger helps the throat helps it sooth it.
2. Damp a cloth in some warm water and gently rub the neck, so it helps the muscles in the neck relax... more
3. Pray to the LORD!!! he will always be in your prayers girl..
