This is going to require collaboration between her OB & other treating MD. Treatment for asthmatic symptoms is very important in order to prevent serious breathing issues& respiratory fatigue. Appropriate inhaler therapy is key. If there's associated bronchitis, antibiotics will be needed. Steroids like dipofos may be required to treat persistent congestion & wheezing. The OB will have to OK meds.
