When symptoms of cough and shortness of breath occur, the first thing to do is to administer a treatment to calm the asthma. Some patients can also use aminophylline. Aminophylline is very effective in relieving asthma, however, it also has some side effects because it has the effect of increasing the heart rate, so it is not recommended for patients with some arrhythmias or heart diseases. The main cause of cough and shortness of breath is inflammation, and anti-inflammatory treatment is the most important way to relieve cough and shortness of breath. If the cough and shortness of breath is caused by a viral infection, antiviral ribavirin or busulfan anti-inflammatory oral solution should be used. If the cough or shortness of breath is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used to treat the cough or shortness of breath.
