Out-of-hours doctor has just said that my son's asthma is ""a little brittle"" - help!
Have just gotten back from the out-of-hours GP (my son's usual timing for a trip!). His asthma's gone everso slightly out of control since the hayfever season has kicked in. I've been back to the GP and the resp nurse in the last couple of weeks and he's started in flixonase nasal spray. This has helped

daughter with atypical asthma?
Can anyone relate please? My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with asthma at 6 months old after a bad case of chicken pox. Her doctor at the time said she may have internal spots and scarring on the lungs (does this sound right?) Her symptoms became worse as she got older, and she has been under

No one else in the family has it and its been a real steep learning curve. Aswell as asthma he has hayfever( which i think

Is this normal?
My 10 yr old dd was seen by the doctor for a chest infection last friday. She's completed her amoxicillin and he'd given us the option of either taking her seretide 50 up to 3 puffs twice a day or to give four hourly ventolin. We went with the ventolin which she is still taking 4 hourly. On Monday

Wheezy cough in a non-wheezing asthmatic child
My daughter, 11, is heading for an exacerbation in her asthma. You know, you can just tell?! She usually takes 2 puffs clenil 50, and 2 puffs of serevent morning and night though a volumatic spacer. Normally on this dose her athma is well controlled and we have no problems. A couple of weeks ago

What are my exacerbation triggers? Actichlor Bleach???
I started work in the operating theatres of an NHS hospital just over a year ago. I take Seritide 250 2 times a day 2 puffs, Salbutamol PRN and Montelukast at night. I have noticed in July last year I was starting to take my Salbutamol more often. Since then had a few exacerbations and prescribed Prednisolone

How to cheat at peak flow?
Ok, this may seem the most ridiculous of posts but is really quite important! How do you get a higher score on the peak flow without physically nudging or poking it (or anything that a pe teacher could pick up on). I would never use this at clinic etc. but i've currently been banned from pe because

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

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
