Hi everyone, I'm new to this, so any help and advice would be perfect. My son luca has just turned two. He's suffering with a night time cough. He has a blue and brown inhaler from the gp. We use the brown morning and night (two puffs) blue one three times aday (three puffs) we only use the blue one when he's wheezy or has a cold. As soon as we have cold weather luca seems to get a cold, which can last months, it usually goes onto his chest. He's been given steroids in the past and been on antibiotics for chest infections a lot. He's also been admitted to hospital with croup. Luca was born 12 days late, he was born with a chest infection and needed antibiotics and oxygen for 5 days. Since a tiny baby luca has suffered with wheezing, gasping, grunting, flying sick, coughing on a bottle, bad skin, bad nappies, screaming in pain, poor weight gain, turning his head, arching his back on a bottle,
etc. it was a huge fight to get the gp to refear me to the hospital, they made me feel like I was gonna have a nervous break down, not listening to me. Saying it was normal etc. I'm the end I got refered and they gave me neocate formula . Luca was like a different child on this milk, sickness stopped, skin cleared up, nappies were ok, we still had the wheeze and gasping. We weened him earlier and he seemed like a different child. Except he got quite a few colds, which would make him wheeze and a cough which only happened at night. Gp would check him and hear a wheeze and give him antibiotics, which would clear up, but it would be back within a couple of weeks... Lucs recently has bit of dairy, and cows milk on his cereal which he seems ok with. He does suffer with a runny nose tho.... I'm really concerned about this wheeze which does clear up a little with steroids but i can still hear it now n again, especially in the morning. Sometimes it clears with his inhaler sometimes it doesn't. He's recently been on steroids which cleared him up for 3 days now it's back. He's coughing constantly at night with the odd sneeze, he can't sleep with this. I've tried everything inhaler before bed, steam room thing, cold air, steam from shower, raising his mattress, damp washing hung in his room. The hospital who he's under for his allergies/breathing problems said there's noone available until January to see him.. I just don't know whst to do , gp don't really know what to suggest. They told me to keep on with the inhalers, he's coughing still now, I can't sleep, my poor boy is suffering and there's nothing I can do. Hope this makes sence, I'm on my I phone . Thanks for your help x
