I am starting to get a cold, and I have asthma, what medications/syrups should I take?

If you have a cold and asthma, it is important to be careful with the medications you take. Some cold medications can worsen asthma symptoms, so it's best to choose products that do not contain ingredients like decongestants or DM. It's recommended to focus on using inhalers to help with coughing and consider products specifically designed for congestion and runny nose without those ingredients. You may also need to adjust the dosage of your asthma medication if you are experiencing coughing.
