Hi. I understand your concern s. Need based inhaler use is not recommended and does not help. It is better she undergoes a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma currently. Before leaving . Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest. Alison she will need to be vaccinated.
