You may need a second inhaler. Cold weather is often a trigger for asthma symptoms. Assuming that the inhaler you are referring to is albuterol, you will need a second inhaler to control and prevent your symptoms, at least during the winter time. This inhaler should be an inhaled corticosteroid such as fluticasone, budesonide, or beclomethasone (among others).
