Default bronchial problems

Is is that asthma and other problems occur mor in asia because of the dry , windy and pollution ridden environment. tho atmosphere is full of smog and dust which triggers of all sorts of allergies which aggravate and become serious in they remain untreated.
bronchitis.results in an acute narrowing and obstruction of the respiratory airway. A cough with generalized wheezing usually indicates this condition. Bronchospasm is a chief characteristic of asthma and bronchitis.

Default Kathmandu

Yes i found the smog much greater in Kathmandu then other places, I found taking a few good chest fishermans friend packets with me was great to keep things at bay.

Also when traveling by taxi I used a mouth mask(or something over your mouth to keep dust out)

In all things out there be prepared and carry what you might need...
