Hello sanali25. If your daughter is having what you believe is an asthma attack please take her to your nearest emergency facility for evaulation and treatment. Do not allow her symptoms to become severe as asthma can be life threatening.
If she is not in an attack, I would advise either trying to call her doctor at home and see if she can take the clenil strength available where you are staying OR take her to a doctor or urgent near where you are staying now to get a prescription for the appropriate dose of her medication. The dosages on pediatric medications are usually based on weight and age of the patient.
Be well, Dr. Kimberly
