18 Months and Asthma Diagnosed

3 Replies

Hi

My son is 18 months and after a trip to A&E last night and follow up with GP today, they have confirmed my son has asthma.

As my husband and mother have it, I am not freaked out but would just be interested to know of other parents and how they deal with it?

Many thanks.

Our boy is almost 18 months and was diagnosed at 14m. We still take him to day care every day. We changed his diet, we give him his medications every morning and evening. At the moment we are fighting a cold (has been going for a week now) and we had to increase the flovent. Last night we had to give him albuterol with the nebulizer as he started coughing badly (we were advised to do this and we could call his doctor at any time if not sure what to do) . So, we deal with the asthma day by day and try to enjoy his silly talks and walks as much as possible.

I cannot wait for the time when he would be able to talk and tell us how he feels.

Thanks

Hi Ani

Thank you for your reply - really helps.

You mentioned diet, do you have any tips or any books you could recommend at all please?

Eddie is alreay lactose intolerant, so we are careful, but just good to know as much as I can,

Hope the cold is easing.

Inhalation medication

Hi, any way you have Asthma Diagnosed, So take proper medications. Probably take drug belongs to a class of medications called bronchodilators. Albuterol is an inhalation medication and helps to improves asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness.
