[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My four year old is the same. We took her to an asthma specialist and a pediatric pulmonologist. The advice was to keep her on Flovent twice a day from September through the end of cold & flu season. In previous years, we would wean off it, or go down to once a day if she was well for a significant period. This year has been our first winter without prednisone. Our doc was emphatic that one puff twice a day was better than 2 puffs once a day for the well plan. [/quote]

+1 to this whole post. My DD was the same at around 3-4. We were seeing both the pediatrician and a pediatric allergist (she also has food allergies) for her asthma, but we really didn’t see a difference in getting better control of it until we started seeing a pediatric pulmonologist. Her regime has been really similar to the PP above. She was also only Singulair for a bit in addition to all that, but no longer is. She’s now 9 and hasn’t had a bad exacerbation in a long time with this Flovent regime from her pulmonologist. [/quote]
