I'm hoping to get some responses from people who have been through the same or similar. Ds, now 3.10 has had a history from about 6 weeks old of being wheezy. Many A&E visits in the first year, use of the blue and brown inhalers, and steroids. Always deemed to be viral, and always called a 'happy wheezer'. Dislike that description because he certainly wans't very happy when at his worst.
Fast forward a couple of years and after having 5 hospital admissions since January this year, and certainly getting worse not better, he was diagnosed formerly with asthma. We are now under a consultant and he has seretide(the purple one), ventolin and montelukast tablets, along with prednisolone when he's bad.
He has had six courses of antibiotics so far this year, none of which have cleared this persistent, sometimes incessant, wet cough. The consultant has now become concerned about this cough, although I've been telling them that he's had it for at least two years. So I think the next step will be investigations such as bronchoscopy, sweat test, and allergy testing possibly.
Does anyone have experience of something similar? Scaring myself to death about things like unusal bacteria that the antibiotics couldn't kill off, or CF, googling a lot, which I know I shouldn't do, but I feel so helpless for Ds, and really want some answers now.
