Hi Frens,
My wife is currently experiencing severe wheezing, cough, and chest tightness. She has dealt with asthma her whole life, but I have NEVER seen it this bad in the 6 yrs. we have been together.
It is getting to the point where she is talking about going to the ER which I am trying to prevent for ALL the reasons we already know.
I had her on an ivermectin (horse paste), vit c, vit d, zinc and melatonin regimen for a couple of days and she seemed to be getting better. she is very skeptical of the horse paste so she stopped after a couple days after feeling better. today we wake up and it seems to be back with a vengeance.
I put her back on the paste, vitamin regimen this morning and told her we need to do this everyday for 5-7 days.
Any other tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated. The last thing I want is her to go to the ER and take some BS COOF test and then we all know how that can end up..........
This board is amazing with these kinds of things and any and all advice, tips, or experiences would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks Frens squid
right now she is using a primatene mist inhaler OTC at Walgreens but honestly i think its making it worse.
i just got her some benadryl. she took a dose of ivermectin paste along with zinc about an hour ago and it seems to be easing up.
here in SE Texas the pollen is outrageous which im sure is only making everything worse
I have been told by dr’s and pharmacists that primatene will make it worse. Albuterol is the standard go-to. It does sound like the pollen is probably triggering her. Some people have found a pinch of salt under the tongue to also help if you have nothing else on hand. Might be worth a try. I hope she turns around soon. That suffocating feeling is terrifying. Take her in if you need to. Praying for you both. 🙏
She needs albuterol, that will open her airways. Primatene mist is not what they use these days for serious asthma.
If it's allergy related then why not use claritin and pepcid? Both are used a lot in COVID protocols to block different h type histamines.
N Houston here, pollen is crazy right now. Wife had same but went away after a few days and she has asthma. She takes her albuterol. A cough/resp illness has been going around our area as well. Hope she gets better! Make some tea too. Quercitin or anything really. Honey.
Yes this pollen is nuts
