Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should start oral bronchodilators.
There are many good oral bronchodilators available.
1. Theophyllin derivatives like acebrophyllin, doxophyllin etc
2. Bambuterol
You can also try antiallergic and antihistamin tablet once in night.
Better to give her LABA (Long Acting Beta 2 Agonist) and ICS (Inhaled corticosteroids) as they are long acting and gives relief for almost 12 hours , while asthalin gives only relief for 3-4 hours.
