Whatever tx works: Usually asthma is defined as controlled with a less than twice a week usage of a rescue inhaler like albuterol. If using more often than this in a week would likely require a controlling cortisone inhaler like Qvar or perhaps -- check with the doctor who is treating your asthma.

Depends on severity: Treatment of asthma depends on the severity of the disease in an individual patient, which is determined by frequency of daytime or nighttime symptoms, need for quick relief inhaler, interference with work or exercise and lung function. Mild asthma is treated with a short-acting bronchodilator as needed, but more persistent disease is treated with controller medications taken regularly.
