My son is just like this it is very difficult when they won't calm down to know how bad they really are. As a rule I have always been told if you can't manage 4 hrs between 10 puffs then you should be in hospital being monitored. I would take her to be seen if I was you because the ventolin can make them hyper and hide how poorly they are. I hope you get on ok let me know, I really feel for you X
I took maddie to out of hours gp who, seeing her struggle, promptly dialled 999!
We are now is hosp! Sats 89 but seeming a lot better. Wheeze eased although still dipping!
You're right, ventolin really does make them go hyper resulting in a mask of symptoms!
I'll definately be calling for help without questioning next time! Having said that, I hope to god we don't have to go through this again! So want them (the cons's) to make her better
Sorry to hear Maddie is so poorly I have been wandering how you both were getting on. I hope she is beginning to feel better and her sats have gone up. I have been there with my own son Fraser it is awful watching them struggling.
