phoenix has asthma, hes on an inhaler he gets twice daily and albuterol that he gets every 4 hours... however he sometimes has attacks inbetween treatments... want to talk to pulmonologist about getting something for that... we are finally treating his breathing problems thank goodness its a relief.

would like to hear if any other cherubs have asthma.. how severe it is, triggers... what is done for them... etc...

would be greatly appreciated thankyou

    Yes! My son has chronic lung disease. He has been on many inhalers/breathing treatments. Currently, he is on Atrovent (2 puffs every 8 hrs), Advair (2 puffs twice a day) and ProAir (Albuterol - 4 puffs every 4-6 hrs as needed...right now we're at about 3x's day). He also takes singular at night, hoping to help with his asthma.

    His pulmonary dr has also done bronchoscopies, to see if they can find anything else going on. So far, nothing has come up. My son gets super sick fast, and just can't seem to stay on top of things. He is 2 1/2.
