have your doctor give you a referral for a pulmonologist. Learn how to use a spirometer, and at what levels do you use your inhalers, which inhalers, and how often. By frequent monitoring of your peak flows, you can learn when your starting to get sick, before the symptoms start, giving you a heads up to increase your fluids, etc. Also, find out if you should get annual flu shots, and the pneumovax shot. A little pain for a lot of gain.

As for your exams, keep a bottle of water with you, take frequent drinks. Try to relax. Speak in smaller sentences if you have to, take breath breaks inbetween sentences.

As for the scarf, that will help when the air is dry and cold, this way it help humidify the air, by keeping more moisture in your nose and mouth. I don't think this will do much help in a class setting. Mints might not be a good choice, as it could irritate your airway even more, hard candies might be a better choice, or just the water bottle.

Keep in mind that some antihistimines can dry your mucous membranes, giving you dry mouth, so again, keep the water handy.

Go back to the doctor and tell him that your meds aren't working. I have asthma and I know it's miserable. There are fast acting medicines you can take and medicines that you take everyday to keep your airways clear and open. Another thing you might need is a nebulizer treatment. Some doctor's offices will have it, the ER will definitely have it, and if your asthma's bad enough you can actually get one for your home. But it has to be prescribed by your doc. In a pinch or emergency, the nebulizer treatments are a God send. Call you doc and find out what he wants you to do. Don't wait till it gets real bad. I hope you feel better soon.

you will always have asthma, it is a permanent condition of the lungs. your doctor can give you antibiotics to help relieve the problem but it wont go completely away. if you smoke ........STOP!
