I was talking to a friend earlier who has a dd about the same age as ds (who is 16 months). Her poor dd has been in hospital about once a month with bronchitis since she was 6 months old - basically whenever she gets a cold she gets it.
I thought I'd ask about it because ds gets bronchiolitis a lot too (that being what the doc calls it - friend said bronchitis though) - doc says he's asthmatic which is no surprise because dh is asthmatic, but he didn't have a problem till he was 7.
so anyway i was wondering if anyone:
a) knows any interesting stuff about bronchitis/asthma etc, especially miracle cures! I know that generally doctors can't treat it with anything - ds is treated with ventolin and some baby expectorant stuf that i don't think you can buy in Britain.
b) knows if my friend's dd's bronchitis could in any way be related to the fact that she had quite a nasty allergy to lactose until she was about 8 months
c) thinks it's a weird coincidence that we were preg in the same village at the same time and both babies have a very similar ongoing health problem (although one - her dd - is affected more badly than the other)
