Just spent 4 nights in hospital with ds : (

[alibobins]

He had a really bad chest infection
I took him to gp on wednesday as he was grunting when he took a breath and they sent us straight to the children's ward

He had another asthma attack last sunday so I think it was triggered by that

I just can't go on like this I really need some answers off someone as why this keeps happening

aww ali it is horrid isnt it and draining especially when you have other children.
What treatment is he on?

Normally he is on seritide atrovent ventolin and montelukast.

At the mo he is on all of the above plus prednisolone and antibiotics.

alibobins we spent many nights on childrens ward with ds and his asthma ......all of a sudden it just stopped and now he rarely uses his inhaler-its very tiring tho and frightening too .....

Windygalestoday- How old was your ds when it all settled.

has he been allergy tested?

Yeah he's allergic to eggs fish nuts and cats We have epi-pens for allergies.
He's been tested for mould grass pollen dustmites and a few others all negative.

he was about 9 when he last had a ttack (he didnt need a nebuliser either) when he was 1-3 that was when it ws relly bad and i knew as soon as he got a cold it woud go stright to his chest the first time he was admitted it was v serious they said he was close to dying he was rushed in then when he ws about 3 he still got v wheezy but i learnt first sign of a cold get to the docs for ntibiotics-hes now 14 and never uses his preventer and occasinally uses a reliever hes football mad and v sporty too so it hasnt held him back,im still v alert tho and we always hve a inhaler in the car and in my handbag and in his schoolbag.
(between 3 and 9 all he had was antibiotics most winters)

its very scarey i know and ive spent mny lonely nights in a ward holding the nebby to him,hope that helps you feel a bit better x

Thanks he's 3.4 so quite a way to go

Sorry didn't reply straight away was unpacking and getting dd sorted.
