Can oxygen be used to treat breathing?

Question

Asked for Male, 50 Years

I have asthma and have been struggling with the high humidity recently. I use a nebulizer at least 2 times a day, sometimes more. After my wife was in Colorado and had her elderly mother use an oxygen canister to help with her breathing distress, she wondered if ordering me a few oxygen canisters might be a good idea to ease my breathing struggles. Could any harm come from trying?
