The mainstay of treatment for asthma are steroids. When it is severe, oral steroids are given and as patient improves they are replaced by inhaled steroids which have minimal side effects. Your mom should also be switched over to inhaled steroids like foracort as soon as she starts improving beside taking montair lc.
