What can be done if despite a theoretically correct asthma treatment there are still many symptoms? This is common, as current asthma inhalers are usually given based on international guidelines (such as GINA Asthma - https://ginasthma.org/). Therefore, even non-specialist doctors are usually able to prescribe the right inhalers. 

If there are still symptoms present or many asthma attacks, several issues may be happening: 

- inhaler technique may not be optimal 

- the prescribed doses of medication may not be enough 

- there may still be environmental triggers for the asthma at home or at work 

- repeated viral infections may be worsening the airway inflammation and leading to a loss of asthma control.
