my older does has asthma she only had it for about 6 months so its all new too me she on 2 puffers and the machine at nights she just turn 7yrs i have to keep a eye on her cause her lungs not very strong at the moment and if she gets croup they put her in hosptail all the time i hate kids when they get sick
I know how scary it is. I wasn't too worried at first but he had this wheezy cough, and when that happened, even my daughter looked at him and said, that's a bad cough you've got.
well living my WHOLE life with ashtma my respiratory specialist called the docs who say nebulisers don't work a pack of idiots
As someone who has used a spacer and a neb my WHOLE life, the neb works better here and noone can fault my spacer use
Even thinking about it, I don't see how 4 puffs through a spacer, when your chest is so tight you CANT get air to the bottom is supposed to be better than 5 minutes prolonged dose which by half way through your chest has opened up substancially and the medication can make it's way to the bottom of the lungs.
I got my neb for $100 so they aren't that expensive if you look around. The spacer cost me $25 and god knows how many times I've lost it.
DH has a nebuliser and uses it when he is really bad and DD also. Just last week they both had a chest infection and our GP put DH straight onto the nebuliser for 10 min. DH would be lost without it.
