Hello Gargy,

Hope you're feeling better. The Seretide contains cortico-steroids, which suppress inflammation - hence the immediate effect. They don't heal the problem, but they will suppress the symptoms to make you feel better. One thing I can suggest is buying Bostito's Eucalyptus spray from the supermarket - it contains pure eucalyptus oil with a propellant of some sort, and is wonderful for spraying on mattresses, curtains, carpets etc. to reduce airborne moulds and mould spores in the home (it kills them). Salt lamps are also brilliant for reducing moulds in the home. If mould is a trigger for your asthma, you should avoid moulds in foods too - some foods that should be avoided are blue cheeses, brie, camembert, some vinegars, grapes and melons. It would be well worth seeing a Naturopath to get the asthma under control - one thing you could consider in the meantime is cod liver oil capsules, as the high levels of vitamin D and A are supportive to lung function and the immune system... and Vitamin C to speed up your recovery from the infection.

All the best, hope you're feeling on top of this soon
