I'm at a complete loss here, last week went back to the doctors for the 3rd time because of my DD's chest. She had 2 colds, a double ear and throat infection and two lots of antibiotics in a few months and she's still wheezy weeks later.
The dr gave us a prescription for a spacer and rushed us out the door.
She's since developed bronchiolitis, GP sent her to straight to paeds ward in hospital this morning and we are now home with instructions to use nebuliser and inhaler.
I can't seem to get the inhaler to work as she panics when the spacer covers her nose/mouth and holds her breath. We've been practicing without pressing the inhaler since last week and making a game out of it and she's got much better however she still doesn't breathe hard enough for the spacer to make that clicking sound where the salbutamol is getting through.
I've ran a hot bath and sat with her in the steam then let her sit in the bath (with cold added) and play for half hour thinking the steam will do her good, she's tolerated 3 minutes on the nebuliser but that's it, I've got the cot raised with books at one end, humidifier on with olbas oil drops in, baby vicks on her chest and she just cannot stop coughing, she's screaming in frustration, she's so tired and it keeps waking her up.
Help!
