take her to hospital - now!

I have asthma too, people tend to play it down but it can be very serious. If you are worried take her. If you feel bad just imagine how much worse you'll feel if you don't take her and she's really ill...

If she's pale, not playing and her chest is pulling in like she can't get her breath... you must ring 999.

If she has a crisis while you are driving you'll likely crash the car.

The ambulance men would always rather you get them out before it becomes more serious.

poor you! if she's bad like this again, as well as antibiotics and pred. you need to keep up the ventolin regularly usually 5-10 puffs hourly after an attack hon. Surprised they didn't advise this.

glad she is ok
