Back on azithromycin
My little boy has been gradually reducing his meds to see if he could hold on lower doses....but now flixotide has been put back up and it looks as if he'll be back azithromycin. He first went on azithromycin when he was 2 and has only been off it for about 4 months and we're seeing his asthma control

Not sure how to proceed anymore
I have 4 year old twins and one of them has severe/difficult/brittle (every hospital has different names for it) asthma. She was diagnosed at 7 months old and she is unfortunately getting worse. She was admitted 14 times last year and that doesn't even begin to detail the number of times we have dealt

Appointment for 'fine cut scan'
We have an appointment for Alfie to have a fine cut scan...19th March. I've pinned so much on this appointment, I keep trying to not build it up but I'm failing badly. He's had such difficult to control asthma since he was a baby and now aged 7 they're going to try and figure out exactly whats going

Having a hard time working out what are side effetcs and what are other symptoms???
Having a difficult time working out which symptoms are caused by medicines and which could be other problems. I have generally taken to putting any short lived pain, vomitting or general weirdness down to side effects from meds, but have now come to the point I am a bit concerned about a couple of symptoms

Azithromycin might be making a difference
Alfie has had a week and a bit on his new anti bi and strangely it seems to have helped! We've had 2 days with no audible wheeze and his cough seems to be settling. Fingers crossed that it continues for a while. Hopefully it will allow his heart to recover - his last appointment a possible problem

Progress despite everything
My little boy, Alfie (6), has severe asthma. He had 20 emergency admissions before he was 2 which culminated in him being ventilated in picu at st georges hospital, london. Since then he's been on mega high inhaled steroids, (flixotide 850mcg daily), serevent, monteleukast, azithromycin all daily.

Alfie
Hi, Alfie saw his consultant last fri and a new drug has been added in; azithromycin - he has this 3 days a week. Apparently this is used with children with cf and she hopes that this will mean that eventually we can reduce his dependance on steroids. He's now showing signs that his adrenal gland

What comes next?
I am feeling very anxious right now. My 4 year old daughter had a bronchial lavage and a bronchoscopy this past week. This is her second one. According to our consultant's at Addenbrookes and Prof Bush from the RBH, she is on the maximum doses of all of her medications and she is nowhere near under control

I felt a bit foolish at our last o/p appointment as my son had lung function of 37%, was obviously finding it quite hard to breathe and was having probs putting sentances

Help - I am struggling with this thing called 'Asthma'
Last year November ('09), I had the flu jab at work. A week later I had the flu which lasted about 7 weeks after 3 courses of antibiotics. January '10 I returned back to the gym, but was always out of breath with this funny crackling sound on my chest. I went back to the Dr in February '10. He diagnosed

Infection still
Hi This is my first ever post, and was just wondering if anyone else had symptoms like myself, regarding my recent infection. I always have Symbicort 400/12 two puffs twice a day, and use the Smart approach, although being on this treatment, i never ever feel 100% but much better than in the past.

Azithromycin
I have been on this for 9 months as a prophylaxis against infection cause of still being stuck on pred. In that time I have not had any colds - always my big trigger. I believe from reading about it that it has an anti-inflammatory effect as well as being an antibiotic. I thought that Deek might like
