TREATMENT: Steroids to reduce inflammation in his lungs, and a bronchodilator to help expand Rahul's airway and improve his breathing

UPDATE, 9/21/2015: Rahul's parents tell us he is having fewer coughing spasms. We encouraged them to have him stop working as a laborer during the weekends, as the dust and dirt is making his asthma worse. His parents, however, tell us that they depend on his work to pay for food.  We told them we understand and encouraged them to have him use his medication and inhaler as prescribed. We will continue to provide Rahul with asthma medication.
