little boys eating habits after an asthma attack

[yaf_user681_19380]

hi everyone

i am new to the site, was wondering if anyone has had a problem with their child eating after an asthma attack

my little 1 had an attack three weeks ago he was really bad in hospital for 4 days on nebs and oxygen for 2 days along with iv medicine , since the attack he has eaten very little just a bite of toast or a bit of a fish finger per day, he is drinking but i am very worried. my own gp said just give him time and keep an eye on his weight he has lost 1 1/2 pound which he can't really afford to loose he is only 2 stone 1/2 pound now can anyone give me advice. we do go to hospital this week to see chest consultant.

thank you..xx

Hi there,

My younger daughter had milk and wheat allergies when she was little. Weighing a lot less than a child of her age, I worried oh so much when, after a visit to hospital, she would just pick at her food.

Now 29, she is no longer allergic to milk or wheat and is a healthy weight.

Please do not worry over your little one not eating. Its been a stressful time for the wee soul. I'm sure he will let you know when he feels like eating again.

All best wishes, jakey's mum,

GM

Hi,

After I have had a severe attack and been in hospital I have very little appetite. It can take me a few days before I feel like eating again.
