I think it takes about a week to kick in, not sure and of course everyone is different. I would go back to see the doctor.

Do you use a spacer? I found it helped when I used one (although I had to ask for one, my asthma nurse never gave me one!)

I agree with the other suggestions, seretide should show benefit (if taken regularly with a spacer) in 5-7 days. If you have no benefit, either do go back and see your GP/Practice Nurse, or ring the help number for asthma uk - who have a great team to help.

If you don't have a spacer, the aerochamber is great - has a training whistle on it and will improve the amount of medication reaching your lungs. Don't battle on with symptoms.

Good luck
