Some thoughts: Her asthma treatment should be in a written plan worked out with your physician that allows you to increase/decrease meds based on daily issues. Water polo is a great exercise but be aware. Pools with chlorine added for safety will bubble off chlorine gas at water level. The intensity increases on sunny days. Chlorine gas will trigger bronchospasm in bot normal & asthma patients. Worth knowing.

Asthma: Is a syndrome that has several types and classifications, also there are asthma masquerades, i.e. other disorders presenting as asthma. You better find a qualified allergist,if you have access to one or a pulmonologist, more history is needed as environmental history,meanwhile, continue using the same regimen till sorted out,and continue exercise as tolerated,wish you and your daughter wellnes
