Hello Dilawar
As you mentioned that your daughter is having ASTHMA , so first of all I want to tell you that don't be so desperate as this is very common in this Sub Continent and reason is allergy so call as asthmatic allergic bronchitis .
Pollen , hay , fodder, fumes , smoking 9 active or passive) , sudden rise and fall of temperature , mite , pests ( cockroaches ) pets ( cats and dogs in house ) are certain predisposing factors for this type of allergy.
Bronchoconstriction is the main cause of such symptoms .
Take these measure :
Wash all bed covers in hot cycle every week.
Treat carpets with acricides or tannic acid
clean upholstered furniture
keep dust accumulating objects in dustbin
Use vacuum cleaner
Encase mattresses, pillows & quilts in covers (impermeable )
Install Air conditioner or dehumidifier .
When such patient visit my clinic I only prescribe them to take MONTELUKAST+BAMBUTEROL tablet once or twice in day and I assure you your daughter will be alright within 3-4 days .
Stop the medicine , once symptom free , restart when some problems .
In my opinion no need of any tension .
Hot coffee and steam inhalation also provide instant relief.
Good luck.
