Hi there
I know there are lots of knowledgable people out there so I thought I'd ask for some advice.
My 10 year old daughter has had asthma since she was 6 when she had her first asthma attack at school which went unnoticed and landed her in hospital. Her asthma has been triggered by cold weather so far until New Years Day this year when she became very suddenly short of breath and wheezy without warning.
She has since had 12 attacks so far this year including two in the last 7 days where she sounds like all the air has been sucked out of her and she is in desperate need of her inhaler and is very wheezy.
She recovers very quickly after taking ventolin and carries on with whatever we are doing but she really scares me. Is it normal and ok to go downhill so fast and pick up again or should I be worried.
At the moment she is on Clenil (which has been increased today by Dr to 400mg), Serevent and montelukast.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Thanks
Cathy
