Does anyone have a child under 6 who takes 5mg and not 4mg?
DD1 is 4.7 and was on 4 mg for over a year. We had a paed consultation in October after dd had a bad attack and he told me to double her Becotide and if she was still requiring Ventolin after a few weeks to ring back.
I rang before Christmas and spoke to his receptionist (it was in dd's notes that I was to call) She spoke to the paed and said he was sending out a prescription.
At the time of the visit I thought he was considering trying a different preventer but when I got the new prescription it is for the higher dose of Singulair. On the leaflet it says it is for over 6.
Should I check with the paed or is it normal to put a younger child on a higher dose if necessary?
I will ring the paed's office anyway but it ususally takes quite a while to get a response from them.
Thanks
