Hi welcome to the health care magic Your partner having repeated asthma attack so yes maintainance therapy with foracort 200 MDI inhalation pump is necessary... Two puff taken daily Regular peak flow meter monitoring done at home Avoid stress, dust exposure, cold exposure, pollen exposure etc like allergen Don t stop inhaler and use it as maintainance therapy to prevent subsequent attacks If needed spirometry done to assess severity Allergy testing can be done like patch test to detect source of allergen You can consult allergy specialist or pulmonologoist for prescription and examination If possible immunotherapy is beneficial in allergy disorders Take care
