I've been checking my symptoms online, and it pointed to cough variant asthma. All the symptoms seem to match, and I already know I have asthma since I use an inhaler. It's the Ventolin Albuterol one, but I feel like I'm using it too much because I constantly need to breathe better. Do you think this issue will eventually go away, or should I think about going to the hospital?
