Hello,
There are a very wide variety of treatments available for asthma now days. All depends on the severity of your daughter’s condition. She should be having albuterol as her rescue inhaler that’s number one. And her what we call daily maintenance inhalers such as: symbicort, Flovent, dulera, pulmicort or Qvar. I’m not sure how old she is but those are the medications that we recommend for the pediatric population. Also make sure you do an allergy test to see if she has any and if so know what to avoid. That will help prevent her asthma attacks.
Hope that helps.
Thank you
