Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Asthalin is having salbutamol. It can cause side effects like tremors, palpitations, tachycardia etc.
So better to avoid asthalin. Newer isomers of salbutamol is available. It is levosalbutamol and brand name is levolin. It is having same effect with lesser side effects.
So it is advisable to use levolin in place of asthalin.
You can give levolin respule three times a day.
If not improving in 2-3 days then consult pediatrician and get done clinical examination.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your daughter.
Thanks.
