I have wheezing problems and currently use an inhaler (Formonide 200) and take Omnacortil 20 mg only when symptoms worsen. Earlier, I needed the inhaler once a week, but now I use it daily. Is there a permanent cure, and how should I manage this condition?

Wheezing that has gone from occasional to daily usually means your asthma is not fully controlled right now. Asthma does not have a permanent cure, but it can be well-controlled so that you can live normally with minimal symptoms. The inhaler you are using (Formonide 200) is a controller medicine that reduces airway swelling and should be taken regularly as prescribed, not just when symptoms worsen. Needing it daily is often appropriate, but if your symptoms have increased, your doctor may need to adjust the dose or add another inhaler for quick relief. Tablets like Omnacortil (a steroid) should not be used frequently on your own, as they can cause side effects if taken repeatedly without supervision. To manage your condition better, try to identify and avoid triggers such as dust, smoke, cold air, or strong smells, and maintain good inhaler technique. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important so your treatment plan can be stepped up or down based on your symptoms. With the right approach, asthma can be kept under good control even if it cannot be completely cured.
