Q: My 16 years old daughter is suffering from bronchial asthma. She is under medication for the same. Can she be cured completely? Her cough aggravates during winter season. She also feels pain in the upper back. Can yoga help in this case?

A:Word cure is not used in asthma yet. Treatment is mainly inhaler based. If her symptoms are confined to any particular season only, then the treatment is easier and given in symptomatic period only. Yoga is not harmful but doesn't help treating asthma.
