Asthma Follow-Up Treatment Online — online health care in Ontario
See a licensed healthcare professional online for asthma follow-up — no waiting room, no travel.
This follow-up checks whether your current asthma treatment is still doing its job — using the same control markers (reliever use, nighttime symptoms, activity limitation) that validated control tools use — and steps up therapy when needed, using the current preferred approach of a combination inhaler used as both maintenance and reliever.
Newly diagnosed, or not diagnosed yet? This assessment is for people already being treated for asthma. Start a general visit instead and the clinical team will take it from there.

Quick Self-Check
Answer a few quick questions. This isn't a diagnosis — a real clinical assessment is the next step either way.
How We Work
Your healthcare professional first rules out signs of a severe attack happening right now, which is a medical emergency, not a routine follow-up finding. Any ED visit, hospitalization, or steroid course since your last visit is treated as significant regardless of how you feel today. Inhaler technique and ongoing smoking or vaping are checked as common, correctable reasons for apparent poor control before assuming your medication itself needs changing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decide if I need to step up treatment?
The decision follows validated control markers — how often you use your reliever, nighttime symptoms, and activity limitation — plus whether you've had any exacerbation (ED visit, hospitalization, steroid course) since your last visit.
What does 'maintenance and reliever therapy' mean?
It means using a single combination inhaler (ICS-formoterol) both on a schedule and as needed for symptoms — the current preferred approach, since it reduces exacerbation risk compared to a short-acting reliever alone.
What if my inhaler technique is the problem?
Poor technique is a common, correctable reason for apparent poor control, so it's checked at every visit before assuming the medication itself is failing.
What if I had a severe attack recently?
A recent ED visit, hospitalization, or steroid course independently prompts a reassessment of your maintenance therapy, even if you feel fine today.
When is this an emergency instead of a follow-up?
Being unable to complete a sentence, blue or grey lips, using your neck or chest muscles to breathe, extreme drowsiness, or no improvement with your reliever are medical emergencies — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
