Asthma question

About 3 weeks ago my 5 year old dd became wheezy and struggled to breath after running around the house. She recovered immediately after I gave her some puffs on her brother's inhaler. We got her her own blue inhaler and I have had to give it to her near every day for the past 3 weeks. It works straight away. As I'm giving it to her so frequently, should I go back to GP to discuss other options or is the once a day thing just normal for kids with these kinds of difficulty? She can have very bad eczema and has epipens for allergies so I'm on surprised that asthma has caught up with her.

Agree with alpaca an appt with your gp's asthma specialist to get the right meds is needed here - blue inhaler should not be needed every day if overall treatment regime is correct.
