Wheezing=asthma: Given a history of asthma, one should consider any wheezing episode as an asthma exacerbation. Albuterol (ProAir, Proventil, (albuterol) Ventolin) should be used as your rescue medication during flare-ups, usually 2 puffs every 4 hours. If wheezing does not stop after first dose Albuterol, an evaluation is warranted. Your doctor should be able to advise you on the next course of action, so call now!
