It depends how bad it is, and whether it causes any care and /or mobility needs.

It may be worth booking an appointment with your GP or asthma nurse, as your medication does not seem to be working very well. My son has quite severe asthma and has tried a rainbow of coloured inhalers - he now has an inhaler that combines different steroids. He manages fairly well on this, until we get very cold weather!
