I'm really worried about my wife. She had an asthma attack earlier and her usual 2 puffs of salbutamol didnt help. It got worse and she ended up taking 10 puffs in 5 minutes, which seemed to work. How often can she safely repeat that in a 12-hour period?

Yes,continue same treatment.Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
