Acetomenaphen used to be the hottest thing going. For myself, I found it a very poor headache reliever. I quit using it, ever. Once my kids were beyond Reyes Syndrome age, I quit buying it.
Asthma is not being able to expel the air in your lungs so you can refill them. Which leads to coughing in the attempt to clear them.
I had Asthma from the age of 3 until I had my last episode when I was 28, I am now 66. There was no actual treatment for Asthma back then. I was frequently given shots of adrenalin which did not help, occasionally I had to be put on oxygen (tent). When I was 12 our family doctor discovered an inhaler medication that another doctor invented for his son, it was Asthma Nephrin. Three inhales and I could breath.
My daughter who is 50 this year was not born with Asthma but was give Aspirin as a child when she had a temp. has severe Asthma, she has been hospitalized many times with such low oxygen levels they feared she would not recover. They for some reason no longer use Asthma Nephrin, guess the pharmaceutical companies did not make enough money on it, the now treat Asthma now with Steroids. Steroids cause severe weight problems when given in large doses and Diabetes.
On the other hand, overuse can lead to bleeding in the stomach and reflux. (As I found out.)
Fish oil has anti inflammitory effects. I take that and have less of a problem with knee pain. I believe I read that it also helps with asthma.
interesting post-thanks
Aspirin actually makes me wheezy.
I am allergic to aspirin and shellfish.

I’ve thought for a long time that aspirin ought to be helpful in case of an asthmattack. I don’t know if it helps that much or not, but if I feel like I’ve got bronchitis I always take an nsaid.
