No. Asthma is a disease that affects the lungs, not the throat. Only medication can help with asthma. Go to your doctor and he/she should prescribe medications for your asthma both for preventing it and for whenever your asthma flares up, such as a quick relief inhaler and a breathing machine for use with prescribed medication(s). Never take more than the prescribed dose on any medication. If your asthma symptoms persist or get worse, go to the emergency room or call 911 immediately.
