My 3 year old daughter has been dx'd with RAD, and I'm pretty sure well on her way to full blown asthma. My question is does asthma compromise the a person's immune system? She seems to be sick all the time. She goes from ear infection (she has tubes, but still gets ear infections), to strep throat, to bronchiolitis, to pneumonia, to urinary tract infections, to sinus infection, to you name it. The poor thing has been on more antibiotics than any one person should ever be on, but she always seems to come down with something that needs to be treated with an antibiotic. Her doctor seems to be puzzled. If we treat the asthma and put her on a preventative, could that help? or is there something else? or is the asthma just part of the symptom and not the problem? Any insight would be of help. Thanks.
