A new study supports evidence that children with mild asthma can effectively manage the condition by using their two inhalers — one a steroid and the other a bronchodilator — when symptoms occur.

The as-needed use of both inhalers is just as effective for mild asthma as the traditional protocol, according to the investigators.
