My Shane started having troubles when he started Kindergarten. He would get sick and within a week or so it would be much worse and we had to start he breathing treatments and then later the doctor prescribed an inhaler for Shane. They just said he had asthma and left it at that. Last spring, the Ped finally referred us to an asthma/allergy specialist. Every winter, Shane would be at the doctor's at least 4 times because he would get a cold and I would have to start the treatments and it wouldn't help. He would end up on antibiotics and steroids so he could get better. He even ended up with pneumonia once. Well, last April we found out the cause of the asthma...allergies! He's now on a new asthma medication that helps prevent him from needing the inhaler. He only got sick ONCE this winter and needed to start antibiotics :) Within the last two weeks, the sneezing and coughing started again and I know it's that time of year that his allergies are going to wreck havoc, so he's taking Claritin daily. It keeps him going. It's so fun having to deal with this. Aften can't understand why I don't freak when she coughs and sneezes like I do with Shane! LOL<BR/><BR/>Oh, by any chance does your son have dark circles under his eyes...almost like a purplish cast? That's a sign that a person has allergies. We would always see that and know Shane was sick and that's when I would start his medications. I pay more attention to people that get that now...they think they just have colds but there is more to it!<BR/><BR/>Hope your little guy feels better soon!<BR/><BR/>LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363484064329617743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006928730624728498.post-1423549389230476172009-03-23T23:34:00.000-07:002009-03-23T23:34:00.000-07:00Oh poor little guy.
