[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a child with asthma so I can only come at this from my own history of pediatric asthma and now, much less bothersome adult asthma. Have you tried the meds yourself, just so you know the effect it has? Albuterol makes me nervous/heart fluttery. When I take it for myself, I try to take half the dose to reduce the effect. I remember when I took a drug similar to albuterol as a child it would make me feel very revved up inside. Are there any allergens in your home that could be contributing, like pets in the house? I'm just trying to think of ways to reduce sources of asthma so that less medication is needed. Does the medication need to be given all the time or can they, or one of them (like the albuterol) be used just when your child has a cold or plays outside or encounters triggers? Sorry if that's a dumb question. That's how I use it but I guess that's because I don't have asthma attacks very often. I hope you find a solution![/quote]
