Hi mammycool you might find a call to the helpline will help you 08001216244 and as djc2 says a spacer will help her take the drugs properly. It is very worrying when your child is so I'll, my eldest suffered so much as a child but now she runs3 miles every morning before work :-):-)

Hi, im so sorry to hear your little girl has been poorly and im very surprised at your GP's attitude. I agree with Starveycat, do speak with the helpline. They are so supportive and can advise professionally the best way forward.. Im sure it wont be long before your daughter is running around with the correct advice. Wishing your daughter better quickly..Helen x
