DS3 age 2.8 takes montelukast as part of his asthma medication (ok not actually dx-ed with asthma due to age, but older brother has it, so he is being treated as if it will be asthma).
However, it causes him to have really bad diarhoea - between 1-4 times a day he passes poo as if it were water, and has been this way since he started the montelukast 6months ago. Whilst I agree with his consultant that he needs the montelukast as I would rather he could breathe and be incontinent, has anyone any experience of this, have they found anything that helps?
He is now dry at night but has to wear a nappy in the day as he has no clue to when he is going to poo. He is obviously technically ready to potty train if it weren't for the meds, and I can't see him coming off them, so it isn't a case of waiting a month or so for potty training.
He takes the montelukast sprinkles on food, but DS2 has the chewable version and has no diarhoea problems, anyone found that changing from one version to the other has helped in any way? Any other ideas?
thanks :)
