DS (8mths) got asthma - a few questions

Is there a difference between a volumatic spacer and the aerochamber. When he had bronchiolitis we had the aerochamber now have a volumatic (find the new one harder to handle).

Also he has been chesty for so long find it hard to tell when to give it. Worry cause in the past when i thought i could hear an audible wheeze doctor couldn't and this time he told me he was really wheezy and i couldn't hear it!

Any other top tips?

I've just posted about my DS2 and asthma so it's new to me aswell. The wheeze the Drs worry about are the noises that they can hear within the lungs ie how well or not the air is being moved around the lobes.

I'll be watching your thread for top tips too

Just read your other thread! Max is exactly like that very chesty but no cold etc. Doctor treating him for asthma symptoms as cannot diagnose so young. Its made a huge difference to him so far.
