Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
More detailed clinical history is needed. How frequently does it occurs per month? Salbutamol Metered dose inhaler with spacer will be more effective and with less side effects. If it occurs more than twice a week need to add inhaled Corticosteroids with metered dose inhaler and spacer.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
