Hello
Asthma can be categorised into mild,moderate and severe on the basis of frequency of symptoms and severity.
For controlling the persistent asthma avoidens of allergens,medicines like montelukast,cetrizine,inhalational steroid may be needed.
The treatment of asthma should be individualised after proper assessment.
During the symptomatic period bronchodilator like asthalin and antiallergic(relent) helps.Medication may be needed frequently and these have little side effects.
I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician for assessment of the need of controller like montelukast and/or steroid.
Regards
