Question 1

My 2-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with asthma, and I'm really worried because we've seen multiple pediatricians without much improvement. About a year ago, she started with a severe cough that lasted for around five months, and we treated her for just that before realizing it was asthma. Were currently giving her salbutamol and prednisolone, but I'm concerned about whether this is the best treatment plan or if there's something else we should consider. Could you offer any guidance or suggestions?
