My kid's asthma

[swanlogan]

Hello all,

I am glad to be here a part of this forum as I get to talk about Asthma and other latest research on asthma. My 4 year kid has been suffering from asthma and every year we end up in the hospital with something that has been complicated by asthma. We have attended the asthma clinic and learned ways to prevent attacks, what triggers attacks etc. I thought I was on top of the asthma until our emergency visit and then I started thinking there was probably a lot more to learn than I knew. This is such a terrible thing for anyone to have, especially children. I have started researching on asthma so that I can learn more about it which will be helpful for my kid and also for people suffering from asthma. Share your tips and suggestions related to Asthma

The other night, my kid couldn't seem to breathe right. His friend kept making him laugh a lot and he had a hard time sleeping.Most of the time my kid's asthma is under control but it reared its ugly head in the last few days.

I was diagnosed when I was 7 and while I never had to go to the emergency room, I regularly had attacks that we helped with my rescue inhaler. Ever since I started taking Advair I haven't needed to use my rescue inhaler as often. I used to use my inhaler at least once a day, now I use it about once a month if at all. I don't know if Advair is recommended for children, but you may want to talk with your doctor.

Thank you for the info. I am following most of your advices. But I couldn't bring my son's asthma in control. I would be glad if I get more information on tests taken for asthma particularly about the tests which is safe and simple for children.

Hey All,

Thanks for the info. I was researching on tests conducted for asthma and came across a test called Exhaled Nitric Oxide Test for monitoring asthma. The breath test has recently become available in many well-equipped hospitals in developed countries. Clinical trials have looked at whether tailoring asthma therapy based on eNO values is better than conventional care, in which therapy is gauged by symptoms and the results of lung function tests.

Also I came to know that this test is safe and secure for kids. Any information about this?
