Hi Everyone , finished my 5 day course of steroids last Monday , ended up in out of hours last night doc advised multi dose on ventolin . My ribs are agony but can't work out if it's coming off cough or if I feel swollen inside . Sorry if this sounds silly but I've only managed 2 1/2 hours sleep . Is it wrong to get wee one out to school & go back to bed ??? 😴😴

You need your rest Polly. Get your sleep when you can!

Take care and I hope that you're feeling much better soon.

please make an appointment with your GP or nurse today.....you may need more steroids or antibiotics.

The Ventolin will open your airways to help you breathe , but you need the underlying cause of your pain investigated.

The nurse at the BLF helpline may be available to give advice....but please ring your surgery .

Best wishes

Multi dise ventolin through spacer is excellent -I had about 3 hrs sleep then 10 doses 2 hours sleep and another 10 the other night before the antibiotics kicked on during the day

One squirt of ventolin only in spacer at a time I was told and repeat multiple times -breathing happens!
