Any advice

[Tashagaby]

Need some help. My daughter had an asthma attack on Tuesday and needed 4 lots of 5mg liquid salbutamol, since then she has had a headache. Is this normal?

Has she drink enough fluid? This could be contributing? Not sure how old your daughter is but for ball park figure a 7 year old should have around 1400ml a day. Obviously the concern would have been her breathing not how much she'd drunk plus she'll have exhaled more moisture in her breath

Hi, i hope your daughter is feeling easier in her breathing now. Headaches are quite common after salbutamol. Also Pressure headaches after an asthma attack are also quite common, mainly due to the natural stress and anxiety that occurs. I used to suffer terrible pressure headaches after attacks but its all temporary, and as the body recovers, hopefully your daughter's headache will melt away. Asthma attacks can be very exhausting..so plenty of rest, gentle distractions and hugs should help..sending best wishes for a speedy recovery..Helen x
