I experience breathlessness climbing even just one or two floors. I am healthy otherwise and active. But of late have had a severe infection where I was coughingout a lot of yellow green phlegm. This was going on for nearly a week during which I would experience asthma like gasp of breath and would use the Inhaler to relieve it. Strangely, there was no full blown asthma attack in all this , which would normally be the case. An Ayurvedic doctor told me I've very shallow breath intake and my lung capacity is therefore very low. Is there something I can do about this?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .E cg and x-ray chest pa view is also advised to the patient.
