Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, your daughter is having asthma. It is common in preterm babies and also common after pneumonia. Asthma needs long acting inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Ventolin is having levosalbutamol. It is short-acting beta 2 agonists. Its action lasts for only 2 hours. So frequent dosing is required. So better to give long acting inhaled bronchodilators like formoterol and ICS like budesonide. Their action lasts for 12 hours. So long term control can be achieved. And oral combination of antihistamine and anti-allergic Chat Doctor.  She will need these
