DD was just diagnosed with asthma last month, so all this inhaler use is new to me (for her, I have asthma and know what to do for me). She has been on a maintenance inhaler for apprx a month now with really good results - no coughing, no illnesses, etc. We have not had to use the Ventolin inhaler until today. She had mild coughing this am, so I had her take one puff of the Ventolin. This evening, she was coughing more and not feeling well, so I had her take 2. She is now feeling better so I am hoping she's not sick and it's just one of those days. It's been raining all afternoon and sometimes that will set off coughing and chest tightness for me, so I am hoping that is the case with her.
Anyhow, my question is - do I still have her use the maintenance inhaler before bed (which is now) since she just used the rescue inhaler about 90 minutes ago?
