Hello, My granddaughter also has suffered with Asthma since birth and been to A & E and admitted several times. Three times in ICU. She takes steroids and has inhalers and also a nebuliser who Mum can use three times then if no improvement up to A & E. She is six now and fingers crossed her hospital visits/ stays are decreasing.
Good to hear that your well for so long and no steroids, I get over it myself ,I don't take steroids ,I'm so sorry I can't answer your question although these days there are lots of new meds for asthma, all I know by all that have asthma that it seems to go for years to come back later,you do have worries with children poor things,search for help it is there.
Hi I think most children grow out of asthma but not all. The spelling is exacerbation - I am very proud of knowing that as it took me ages to learn to spell it correctly! x
