Can I say about the person who has asthma that he "has breathing problems"?
How do you call that small pump that people who have asthma use in order to breathe easier? Please give me the exact name of it.
Thank you in advance!

Yes you can say that a person with asthma has breathing problems
The pump they use to for their medication is called an inhaler - some call it by the medication name such as Albuterol - but most people just call it an inhaler

Yes, asthma is basically a breathing problem, and yes you could say that, unless you wanted to go more scientific but it sounds like you don't. The 'small pump' that helps asthmatics breathe easier is called an inhaler.

The small pump people use to breath better is called an inhaler...some people call it by in medicinal name...Albuterol. That is the quick solution medicine.
Some people inhale steriods on what is called a "spacer" but these days, spacers are round instead of pump like. (They used to be pump shaped and were inhalers too but now they are discs.)
Another small pump people use is called a nebulizer and I don't have any experience with them so can't tell you much about nebulizers. They are for people with severe asthma that is very difficult to control.
I think you are talking about the Albuterol Inhaler.

sure but saying the person has asthma is just as good. You call pump thing an inhaler.

Asthsma may be called a "breathing problem." It's a bit general, but it does describe the condition.
I believe that the pump is called an "inhaler."
