Depends: If attacks are infrequent and , mild, a rescue inhaler and avoidance of triggers would suffice. If they are frequent , and severe, a "controller" inhaler or oral drugs will be needed in addition to the rescue inhaler. Rescue inhalers open your bronchioles and allow you to breathe easier. Controllers reduce inflammation and minimize your attacks. When used together, most asthmatics do pretty well.
