DS was prescribed an inhaler at about 10 months old as he had had an ongoing cough which had lasted for about 6 months. I only needed to give him the inhaler once and the cough cleared up - he has never had any need to use it again and he is now 2.9.
I have had really bad asthma the past few days which is totally out of the ordinary for me - was advised by on call doctor to take 20 puffs last night.
Then a few hours ago, DS suddenly went pale, had dark circles under his eyes and started yawning a lot and looking like he was going to pass out. At first I thought he was going to be sick, but then I thought I'd just try him with 2 puffs ventolin and he seemed to instantly perk up/pinkened cheeks and lips.
I'm not sure what to do now - can't get a GP appointment today - not sure how much ventolin he can have and don't even know if it IS asthma.
If anyone has any advice I'd be grateful

(I've only just redeveloped asthma after being free of it for over 15 years 
, so a bit out of the loop!)
