How much/often can i take my blue ventolin inhaler

[mamaof2]

I currently have a bad cold, and my asthma seems to be playing up, its not usually very bad, but i am feeling really wheesy. I've taken two puffs at a time today, but the wheesyness just comes back after a few hours, is this too often to take my inhaler?

Thanks

my daughter has asthma and is on an inhaler. when she get a bad cold and her asthma is acting up her dr. said its okay to do
2 puffs 3 times a day.
i would call your dr. anyway to make sure, my daughter started with a cold and ended up in the hospital with a lung infection.
