Looking for an asthma specialist for toddlers

Hi all,

My 3 year old daughter has suffered from a few incidents of short breath and wheezing, due to a chest infection and tithning of the lungs airways. She was prescribed with a daily dose of Montelukast which did improved her situation but her behaviour is now moody and more aggressive. I read that Montrlukast is linked to some behaviourall changes and especially with children, hence I am currently looking for recommendations for an asthma specialist.

Could be anywhere in the UK.

Many thanks

Greg

Hi Greg, sorry to hear about your little one.

I would get in touch with the Asthma nurse here on the form. Just click the about botton to get in touch with them. I am sure they are able to point you in the right direction or even provide you with details.

All the best that she is getting better again!! 🌹🌹🌹
