Hi Dazed, sorry you're feeling lousy. I have cough variant asthma, so my main asthma symptom is endless coughing. Do you have a rescue inhaler like albuterol, maxair or something? If I get a cold or something, I usually start using mine every 4 hours to try to keep the coughing under control. I am not talking about the advair though, don't use that any more often. My asthma dr does not like me using cough supressant when my asthma is flared, but I do have some codeine cough syrup on hand that I take once in a blue moon, only before bed when the cough keeps me awake. If your rescue inhaler is not keeping the cough somewhat controlled, you may need to call your dr & try bumping the advair to a higher dose, or possibly adding some prednisone to help you get through.

Feel Better!!
