May need other : Additional med. Does she have a pulmonologist trading her asthma? How many nights per month does she have difficulty breathing. She may require a long acting beta agonist and/or an inhaled steroid in addition to the albuterol that I assume you are giving her. Also, you need to check her inhaler technique because she may use the puffer wrong. Please discuss with her pulmonologist.
