Wheezing: Wheezing in a known asthmatic should be promptly treated with the rescue inhaler albuterol, regardless of whether cough is present or not. Early treatment helps prevent a cycle of resistant wheezing and excess mucous production, necessitating more medications such as oral steroids or alternate inhalers.
