I've been dealing with asthma for the past 10 years and started using a medicine called Salbair I about a year ago. I've been taking it regularly and I'm worried if that's harmful. Should I stop using it, or what should I do instead? How risky is this medicine for me?

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been dealing with cold and cough for the last few days and is on medication, but he's passed out twice while coughing. Is this something to be concerned about? Is it curable? I'm hoping it's not something serious or life-threatening. What should we do?
