Help with Sick Child

I am needing some advice with my sons health. He is 3 years old, will be 4 in August. He has allergies to food, pets and outdoor irritants. He also has asthma. It seems like he is always sick. Either a virus, strep throat, ear infections pretty much the common things that children get - but it seems like he ALWAYS has something. Winter time is the worse. His asthma is under control with medication - we did have a rough winter though and he was on Prednisone 4 times from about Nov. - March. He sees an allergist and a dermatologist regularly,...

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!

Adverse Side Effects of Zyrtec? Flonase? Albuterol?

My son recently started on a regimen of Zyrtec and Flonase daily, and Albuterol as needed. When we started these meds, I posted something on this site about his allergies/meds, and another mom said to be cautious, as Zyrtec caused aggression in her son. Mom, if you're reading this, please respond! I'm wondering exactly what that looked like, or if any of your children experienced any adverse side effects from any of the meds I listed. My son is typically a very rambunctious, rough-and-tumble little boy. He will rough house with...

Can a 6 Year Old Use a Rescue Inhaler?

I took my 8 year old to the doctor for flu symptoms and mainly a cough that was out of control. They prescribed an inhaler (albuteral type) for him and it reallly helped. My 6 year old has the same symtoms now and I know the inhaler would help him. Do other 6 year olds use inhalers? Does anyone kknow if the dosage is the same for an 8 and 6 year old?? It seems silly to take him to the doctor when they have the exact same syptoms. Thoughts?
