I've been having this sudden trouble with my breathing, like my chest feels tight and it's hard to get a good breath in. I'm not asthmatic, but would using an inhaler be a possible solution to help me breathe easier?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been dealing with Asthma for a long time, and on top of that, now he's got this Marbu Sali thing going on for the last three days. He's been using Asthalin rotocaps a lot, like 78 times a day, which sounds like way too much, right? And now he's got a headache too. He doesn't have any bad habits but he just won't go see a doctor. I'm not sure what to do, can you suggest any other options or treatments that might help him?

I'm having wheezing for the past couple of days, mostly at night and not so much during the day. My doctor told me to use one puff at night an hour before I go to sleep. I'm wondering if I should gargle my throat right after using the inhaler, or if there's anything else I should be doing. Also, if I stop using the inhaler after 15 days, could the wheezing come back?

Yes ,gargling is advised to the patient inorder to prevent fungal infection.
