Hello and welcome to HCM,
Treatment of asthma depends on the frequency and severity of symptoms.
In some instances the asthma attack follows a seasonal pattern like during spring and autumn.
In other asthma follows no pattern and occurs any time irrespective of any seasonal variation.
The underlying treatment for asthma aims to dilate the constricted airways.
Your inhaler is also dilating the airways.
However, in cases where frequency is high and there is no seasonal variation, a steroid may also be required.
However, the exact plan of treatment can be decided after clinical assessment.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a pulmonogist for clinical assessment followed by appropriate treatment plan.

Thanks and take care
