Dh is mildly asthmatic but from out the blue the other week,had a very bad attack and ended up in hospital for 4 days.The day he came out ds2 came out in spots(chickenpox) and is now smothered in them.Dh was discharged with his normal inhalers(Seretide and Salmutamol),along with anti biotics,steroids and another pill which he needs to take at night,to keep the airways open.
He has now finished the course of steroids and anti biotics but is still very breathless and even had to use his inhaler,after walking to the front door.
I happened to be talking to a mum at school this morning who asked after dh,and when I mentioned the steroids,she said it was quite dangerous to take steroids,when around someone with chickenpox,so now I'm a little worried.
Dh is at the doctors at the moment but tbh,he has so many things to ask him,that I thought I'd see if anyone on here would know,incase he forgets.
I'm also a bit worried if this is the case,as I'm sure ds1 will probably have chickenpox in the next week or two.
Thanks.

Does anyone know about steroids and chickenpox exposure?
