Hello, Since your doctor mentioned lung damage, it’s important to know that while the damage may not be fully reversible, your symptoms can still be managed and your quality of life improved. Use your controller inhaler daily and a reliever during attacks. Do steam inhalation 2–3 times a day, stay well-hydrated, and take mucolytics (if prescribed) to clear thick mucus. Avoid triggers like dust, smoke, strong smells, and cold air. Practice gentle breathing exercises, avoid smoking, and maintain a healthy weight. Monitor your lung function with a peak flow meter and follow your doctor’s plan closely. Seek urgent help if breathlessness worsens or your lips turn blue. Regular care can help prevent further damage and improve your breathing.

Hello With regards to your concern Try to identify the cause of asthma and avoid the exposure to that cause if possible. Use regularly foracort inhalers to reduce discomfort. Yes it's true lung damage can't be reversed but supportive medications need to be used to reduce the discomfort. Chest physiotherapy can be done to reduce discomfort in season change.

If your doctor has said your lungs are damaged, you may be dealing with severe persistent asthma or even chronic obstructive airway disease (COPD) caused by long-term inflammation and mucus buildup. Constant chest congestion, shortness of breath, and difficulty walking are signs that your condition is not well controlled. At this stage, regular use of rescue inhalers alone is not enough. You likely need a comprehensive asthma management plan, including daily inhaled corticosteroids + long-acting bronchodilators, mucolytics to clear mucus, nebulization, and possibly oral steroids or biologic therapies if your asthma is severe and not responding. It’s important you see a pulmonologist (lung specialist) immediately for a spirometry/lung function test, updated chest imaging (like HRCT scan), and blood tests (like eosinophil count, IgE levels) to determine the right treatment. Lifestyle changes like avoiding dust, smoke, cold air, and allergens, using an air purifier, and breathing exercises (like pursed-lip breathing) can also help. You may not be able to ā€œcureā€ asthma, but with the right treatment, you can breathe better and live a more active life. Let me know if you'd like help preparing for your pulmonologist visit or a list of questions to ask.
