Salamol doesn’t work for me! Is anyone else finding it less effective than Ventolin?
Hello asthma buddies, Ok.. so while I’m all for saving the planet, I’ve been told my new blue inhaler, Salamol, is a CFC free equivalent to Ventolin. If I order a repeat prescription for Ventolin I automatically now get a Salamol. This happens at all phamrmacies I’ve tried. I have been told that eventually

New Salmol inhaler tastes awful
Has anyone been prescribed a new blue inhaler to replace the Ventolin blue one? I've just been given Salmol and thankful my asthma is well controlled because it tastes like glue. Are there any other options that don't taste so bad?

Sudden rapid drops in SP02 that recover quickly
Hi, Does anyone else have experience of SP02 levels dropping suddenly and then recovering quickly multiple times of day and night? I have talked to my respiratory nurse and he changed my inhaler to trimbow which seems to be helping, but today my Bluetooth sp02 oximeter recorded 42 drop (reduction of

My 17 month old daughter is in hospital every two weeks with viral wheeze
I’ve just joined the forum and I would really appreciate so help and advice. We have been in hospital 7 times this year with our beautiful baby daughter. Every time she gets a cold it ends up causing her lungs / airways to construct and we have to rush her to hospital. She really struggles for 1-2 days

Asthma remission for 6 months
I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, 8-9 years of age. My asthma symptoms come and go, but I’ve went 6 months without any major symptoms. I wake up coughing every morning, shortness of breath and sometimes I throw up due to coughing so much but I put this all down to smoking. I’ve stopped smoking

Confusing advice from consultant
I had a terrible experience today. My son's asthma consultant became annoyed at me and my husband because we chose to homeschool our five year old, largely because of his asthma. He gets three to four days of constant coughing when it flares and he was like this at least twice a month. We think viruses

asthma concerned
hi, This is my first post. I think I just need reassurance really. I have asthma for a few years now. I was on the brown inhaler for those few years and not very often needing the blue one. It seemed over night my asthma got worse which was very concerning for me. I’m now on the Fostair 100/6 plus the

Weaning off Sirdupla 250?
Bearing in mind that it took two years to find a combination
inhalers
which would get it properly under control in the first place and when things go pearshaped it happens pretty quickly with me.

In November I caught a cold and had 3 lots of steroids and antibiotics. My question is I now have a morning cough

Clenil inhaler side effects
My 6 year old was recently given the Clenil inhaler to try for 8 weeks for his persistent cough. We have been trialling it now for 6 weeks. He is taking 2 puffs 2 x a day. It has worked wonders for the cough but after about a month he bizarrely started having sleeping problems. He’s never had trouble

An update on my wife. With a question...
Hey everyone. I hope everyone is doing well and a sincere thanks for the time everyone took to reply to me about my wife. She finished her antibiotics Sunday evening and her phlegm has gone from luminescent green to clear. So that's a result first of all so far. Energy levels have slowly increased

'It was only viral meningitis'
This is the sentence I have had said to me 100 times since going to hospital for 5 nights back in july 2022 for meningitis. I have constantly felt as though I should be grateful and have been told how lucky I am for still being here - which I am but I was discharged as soon as physically possible and

What would you do next?
*Long post* alert 📢 So, about 5/6 hours after the consultant told me on Monday that my asthma's fine because it hasn't flared since September, my body decided to prove him wrong and I've spent a week having constant mini - and one not so mini - asthma attacks.

Bronchiectasis, green phlegm and fever
Hi, I wondered if people would be happy to give my their feedback on constant green phlegm. Mine is never clear and there all the time, I have to do clearance most days. I use a Qvar steroid inhaler and try not to take antibiotics. My lungs are sensitive to everything, dust etc. I was at a shielding
