See someone: You nay have exacerbating asthma and allergies, but especially as this is not improving and you are usin your inhaler often, there may be other more beneficial and long term solutions like different medications or allergy shots. Further you need to make certain that it is asthma and not soething else. See your primary, allergist/ent, or pulmonary physician

See Doctor: Mucus production can be a sign of inflammation in the lungs and airways. Wheezing is usually caused by spasm and inflammation. While your symptoms may be suspicious for asthma, other conditions can cause it. If you have an inhaler and are using it every day, you may want to ask your doctor about going on a more long-acting lung medication.

RAD: It sounds as if you are describing asthma or reactive airway disease. You have a daily productive cough and often wheeze. The albuterol is a rescue medication for wheezing. Because you have frequent symptoms, you would benefit from a daily controller medication, such as an inhaled steroid. This may control or prevent your symptoms. Discuss your care with your MD. You should start to feel better.
