Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 I have been there also. Viruses can setup your broncial tubes to react to every little thing. Children in Daycare get everything and pass everything. I have worked daycare as an instructor's helper and came down with EVERYTHING. The fragrance problem is also something I struggle with. It can send me to the ER in a heartbeat. I move when I start to smell someone with fragrance on and get to the other side of the room with some ventilation as soon as I can. You may want to also keep cough drops in your purse to help calm down your bronchiol tubes and so you are not overusing your albuterol, because of the side effects of the albuterol. The doctor's in the ER call what you are going through an Asthma exaserbation secondary to a Upper respitory infection. The infection could be viral or bacterial. Your lungs are just trying to protect you from the perceived threat. Keep at it and realize that children bring thing home. It will also happen when they start school and get new friends. THESE are times that you can not really just take them out of so easily. Just some info Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 My first bout with Asthma type symptoms was when I had Viral Bronchial Asthma. So, yes, it is possible!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 The bugs your child is bringing home have started a process of inflammation in your lungs. Our resident RRT/EMT may be able to help more. Matt, Oh, Matt, where are you? LOL. He'll try to answer your questions I'm sure. I was originally triggered off by a 26 year smoking habit which, Praise God, I was able to quit 6 years ago. I am also sensitive to perfumes and scents. I have to be careful about picking up bugs, too. I can get bronchitis very easily so I hope I don't get sick any time soon. You should consider getting both flu and pneumonia shots this year for you and a flu shot for the baby. Take care, gallagherlauren wrote: Does anyone have or know about "viral induced" asthma? I never had problems with asthma before but since my 22 mo. son has been in daycare I have experienced ongoing severe respitory illnesses over the last 18 months until March when I had flu (from my son) which turned into bronchitis which turned into pnemonia.Which sent me finally to a pulmonologist in April who pronounced it asthma. After being on Advair 500 and Singular for awhile I went to an allergist (found out I have no allergies) who also put me on Pulmacort in addition (for a respitory illness where I lost my voice) and his diagonosis is "viral induced asthma".

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Thank you so much for responding in detail. I have felt very alone in this. My co-workers are starting to brand me as a " sick' person I'm sure of it. It has been really frustrating because just when I seem to be getting better it hits again. I think the also change in weather sets off a sinusitis which goes into my chest and THEN gets infected too. Have you heard of any of these symptoms being related to post pregnancy? What are the side effects of albuteral? My doctors did not explain this to me I think because I was in such need of it. > I have been there also.
