Hi welcome to the health care magic

Your partner having repeated asthma attack so yes maintainance therapy with foracort 200 MDI inhalation pump is necessary... Two puff taken daily

Regular peak flow meter monitoring done at home

Avoid stress, dust exposure, cold exposure, pollen exposure etc like allergen

Don't stop inhaler and use it as maintainance therapy to prevent subsequent attacks

If needed spirometry done to assess severity

Allergy testing can be done like patch test to detect source of allergen

You can consult allergy specialist or pulmonologoist for prescription and examination

If possible immunotherapy is beneficial in allergy disorders

Take care
