Sometimes I have slight asthma, but I believe that much of it is related to my allergy problem with mold, mildew, dust, weeds, etc. I have to take benadryl about everyday, and I sometimes get congestion in my sinuses and chest. Does decongestant help with preventing asthma at all? I have an inhaler available to take as needed, but don’t usually have very bad symptoms. It seems to come and go. Is this fairly normal?

If you have allergy problems an inhaler will not help. I take Clariton.

I would see an allergist. They maybe able to help the allergy problem which would eliminate the asthma.

It’s pretty normal for some people. Claritin helps me, but i take Singulair with it during harvest season, when my allergies get really bad. For a very, very mild asthma attack, coffee can sometimes help.
Check with your doctor before doing this, but my doctor said i could take 2 Claritin - 1 in the morning, 1 at night to help with allergies.

Clariton seems to help a great deal…
