A member asked:
I am really wheezy and coughing up sputum today. can i use an extra ventolin dose here and there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes you can - but it is highly recommended that you discuss this with a physician who may be able to figure out if your current medication regimen is appropriate. When an exacerbation of asthma is present ventolin can be used every 4 hours or so, but notifying your doctor is a great idea.
