Seeking Lung Health Alternatives

Hi all. Our daughter had whooping cough when she was about 8 months. We had throat cultures taken, and she was negative for actual pertussis. Still, her cough was definitely 'whooping' and it was scary. She's now 4 1/2, and when she laughs hard or has a cold or some other bug, her cough is terrible. She'll hack all night despite taking cough medicine, which we know is only a short term assistant, not a therapeutic remedy. So we're seeking some info on lung help, something to help clear and strengthen her lungs and bronchioles. ...

6 Month Old Infant on Albuterol for Wheezing and Cough. Side Effects Are Crazy!

Does anyone have any info on giving a child oral Albuterol. She has a seemingly productive cough but no other cold symptoms. Doctor told me it was a virus and prescribed oral Albuterol. Pharmacist said that it would make her hyper but I wasnt prepared for how hyper she would become. It is like having a baby on speed. I would consider stopping the treatment but want to know if anyone has similiar situation. Doctor seemed to have diagnosed her in 20 seconds. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Do You Take a Lot of Prescriptions?

I am just curious about this. My sister was over at my house the other day and opened my medicine cabinent and she yelled "Good Heavens! What is all of this?" She was freaking out because I take 5 prescriptions on a regular basis (for things like acid reflux, allergies, etc.) and vitamins on top of that. She was floored about it. I am 29 and I never really gave much thought to it. But she is 28 and thinks I am taking a ridiculous amount of meds & vitamins. So, just to satisfy my curiosity I want to see if I am in the norm or not. So - How...

Any "Natural" Remedies for Asthma Out There?

Hello, I have a 17 month old who is on a nebulizer 2-3 times a day (more when he sounds bad) he is also on an allergy medicine that he takes at night. I'm concerned that we are relying too heavily on drugs and was wondering if there are any natural remedies out there that anyone has found successful.

Reaction to Albuterol

Hello, Mamas! I need some feedback. Our 3 year old son has asthma issues only when he has a respiratory illness. During those time, we have successfully given him his albuterol inhaler as a daily treatment for the wheezing and coughing until the illness subsides and he no longer needs it. That lasts maybe a week at the most. It's been over 10 months since the last time he had to use the inhaler, and we had to use it last night. However, within about 5 minutes, he started itching on his legs like crazy and the left side of face got...

22 Month on Albuterol for More than 2 Weeks

My son was hospitalized over 2 weeks ago for his breathing issues. When he got out we went about a week and a half with albuterol treatment about twice a day. When I was certain his breathing was back to normal I stopped the treatment. The very next day he is sick again and I noticed really fast breathing timed his breathing and he was over 40 breaths per minute, did a breathing treatment and called the pediatrician in the morning. He added a month steroid given through the nebulous or and children's Allegra and said continue with the...
