Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The drugs have to be taken life long in most people - because the cause is either not found / or if found, not curable...
The side effects are seen rather early on starting / now unlikely...
She should be treated by Pulmonologist - not GP
There are several drugs used in inhaler - beta agonist - long acting for prophylaxis, short acting for rescue / anti-cholenergics /
Steroid / and so on
Pulmonary function tests help in decision making...
Pets, Carpets, pollen, air-conditioner ned attention..
RAST (
blood test) may identify an allergen
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
