Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

See M.D.: If you have established asthma and are experiencing an asthma attack, worsening of your breathing, dry cough, shortness of breath, please see a doctor. If your doctor has prescribed an inhaler, the instructions of use should be followed.
