Being asthmatic you are not on any controller inhaler hence you feel your salbutamol inhaler is not working. Please take controller inhaler on regular basis like seroflo inhaler 1 puff twice daily. Get personal consultation done.
Next Steps
Go for chest x-ray and PFT done.
Health Tips
Prednisolone to be taken as per physician's advise .
