Albuterol for attack: If you are having an acute exacerbation of asthma, you should use a pump that contains albuterol or levalbuterol. For prevention of symptoms, there are many different inhaled corticosteroid combinations available to you. Discuss with your doctor.

Not an easy answer: For immediate relief of coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath use albuterol or a similar bronchodilator. For control of underlying airway inflammation and if you require albuterol more than twice weekly use an inhaled corticosteroid or a combination of inhaled corticosteroid and long-acting bronchodilator. Best advice: discuss with your primary care physician, a pulmonologist or an allergist.
