Do I need to use an inhaler?

Seasonal asthma may also be induced by exercise. Treatment with a short course of bronchodilators should be followed by weaning off all the drugs and starting with all at the start of a severe exacerbation. To stop progression of an episode, use a small dose of broncho-dilator. Mild asthma exacerbations can be treated with a small increase in bronchodilator, if this does not occur more than once or twice a day, but good judgement is needed if this is insufficient. It is better to treat an attack or a problem that occurs with a cold by starting treatment early in the illness and again wean off to a low dose regimen of bronchodilator as needed.
