my sons asthma has been getting worse for past 4 month even thou he has both inhalers and steroids on and off.
the attacks are more frequent and the gap between steroid tablets are getting shorter, my doctor does not say much but im not happy with how he his./
what else can be done?
hes 8 and no just gp
Maybe I will stick to this thread getting confused on the other one.
What meds is he on? Have you considered asking for a referral to a specialist?
hes on blue inhaler the strong brown one the gp just increased that not long ago and for past 4 -5 month on and off steroid tablets he had one lot just over a week ago and back on them again today got to take him back tomorrow and gp mentioned may be referring him today but as of yet she as not
I would just say you want that referral, my son is 3 and I would be lost without his respiratory consultant who has been great. They have a lot more experience with dealing with children with asthma 
thank you jenny
I will ask tomorrow because I am not happy with how he his and how often he his having attcks.
Yeah perhaps discuss that referral again? Also what about asking him if there is a different inhaler? Is it Clenil 100 inhaler? My son was changed from this when he was having 6 puffs a day top seretide 125.
yes he was on the 50 one now hes on the 100 it dark brown having 2 puffs 3 times daily
The seretide is a combination inhaler with a long acting reliever as well as a preventer. They may put him on this next if the brown inhaler isn't controlling his asthma sufficiently. X
Newly diagnosed in November 2010 - getting worse
Advice needed!!!! Things have changed for my son
Losing my confidence in treatment.
