Great day four and no cigs! Good for you. I do believe Lindsey needs that

inhaler! She may have a touch of asthma, or with the bronchitis some airway

constriction. The inhalers come in various medications. The coughing can be

bronchial spasms. Anyway, albuterol opens the airways up and stops the

bronchial spasms. With pneumonia people usually do have a fever, but I have

seen those that do not in my career..

Hugs,

Let us know how the Dr's appointment goes! This time she has no choice to

refuse to have the inhaler filled at the drug store, sounds like she needs

it!

Hi,

Thanks. Yea, was rx'd an inhaler. Dr says it's probably asthma, or a

bronchial irritation.

Dr said to expect to us it fairly regularly for about a week or so. Then, if

she still needs to use it a lot, she will need to be re-evaluated, and she may

need asthma meds.

But, the dr thinks it's more of an allergy thing. And, from the bronchitis.

Bronhial asthma I think she said. An inflamation of her bronchial tubes.

Anyway, we went right away and got it, and she used it right there while I was

paying for it. And, it stopped her coughing again.

So, she really needs it.

Thanks,

I am an allergic asthmatic and I get night coughs and have extra meds

to take for this (I take 2 preventers Oxis and Pulmicort turbuhalers)

as well as ventolin if it has gone to far. I do wheeze sometimes and

I get the tight chesty feeling (I also have more than 1 cough).

It is possible for asthma to come on later in life (i got diagnosed

started symptoms at age 16), also bronchitis, plurisy etc can cause

asthma (type) symtoms and can hang on, but I say get her tested for

asthma, as it is possible that all of her other lung stuff and her

recent bronchitis have started something.

I have had such shocking choughs at times that I have had to take

codiene medicines to suppress the cough.
