Pulmonologist,  's  Response
I have have gone through your problem.

I thing to be clear first such longterm treatment with oral steroid for asthma is usually not required if she got proper treatment with good drug compliance.

Asthma usually well managed by metered dose inhaler of bronchodilator and steroid combination...where dose of steroid is very low as most of it directly act on your airway...so risk of systemic side effect is low.

May I suggest ..
1.slowly tapper of oral steroid.
2.shift to MDI bronchodilator & steroid.
3.use spacer device .
4.Diet control & Exercise.

All of these together will help you.
But this all to be done under supervision of a pulmonologist.

Thank you ..
