Daughters asthma seems to be getting worse instead of better
I have been recently visiting my doctors with my daughter sarah who is eight due to her asthma being uncontrolled. Sarah is on flixotide, salmeterol and salbutamol. She is needing her salbutamol quite a lot (up to 5 or 6 times a day) her peak flow is also low and my friend mentioned to me that she

13 year old with asthma- a few questions
Hi! I have a 13 year old daughter (Haley) who was diagnosed with asthma when she was 11. It was very mild, the doctors even called it ""borderline"", meaning they weren't sure if it was bad enough to even call it asthma.She went about 2 years hardly using her inhaler, probably about once a month This

NOW MY 8 YEAR OLD SON?
I have an almost 3 year old recently diagnosed with asthma. NOW my 8 year old son has been given a peak flow metre to use and record for two weeks. Over the last 3 months or so he has had 3 separate bouts of night coughing (and some day coughing on exertion or going outside in the cold). These bouts

Advice on being more prepared, peak flow? pulse oximeter?
Do you think it would be worth buying a Pulse Oximeter to use at home? Also I have only just heard of peak flow, at what age/stage should this be started? My 3 (3/3/5) boys tend to only suffer with asthma when they have a virus, but do also have the cough occasionally in-between, and can develop a

How to know what to react?
My daughter is now 12 and has had eczema all her life and asthma since she was 4. She is very fit and trains regularly for baton twirling and has an excellent peak flow most of the time. Her asthma is on the whole not a problem with her day to day life but this time of the year is a nightmare. She

Rather long post, sorry...My daughters asthma is out of control...
My 14 year old daughter got a cold, the 2nd week of January. We doubled her dose of the purple inhaler in the morning and the evening as we normally do when she has a cold. She started to be sick a couple of times in the night (just phlegm), which is quite normal for her when she has a cold. However

Horrible teacher aaarrgghhhh!!!!!!
My son went back to school today, not really brilliant as we can't seem to shift his cold. He has come home really poorly, had to have his salbutamol inhaler. His peak flow was 140. I asked him if he had been ill at school. He said he told his teacher he was not well (he's 6) and he said, she said "
