Oh really ?
I don't know if I should get one or not..
My daughter wears a Medic Alert tag bracelet because of her life threatening Latex, Plum, Nut and asthma .. they come in pretty colors now and not just red symbol. Hers is pink. We feel safe knowing if anything happens the med professionals have her history right with one phonecall.

I did take prednisone for five days last time I was sick, but I haven't this time. My mom said that if it wasen't better tomorrow that she would call (since it is not open today).
I will keep in touch for if anything becomes worst.
Have you been on an antibiotic? prednizone? This is the routine that my doctor goes with and it prevents full blown asthma exacerbations. Call your doctor right away and let him/her know it is affecting your breathing, k? Report back how you are doing. I'm worried!
Thank you so much,
Am I really supposed to take ventolin every 4 hours when I have a cold? (I have one right now and it's affecting my breathing - it's been over a week and its not getting any better)
Considering the frequency of asthma attacks you get, you should definitely get medical ID bracelet.. You need not take Ventolin daily. But, currently, you need to continue taking symbicort. Whenever you feel that you are going to get an attack of asthma, start ventolin. You need to stay away from all kinds of allergens like dust, pollution, perfumes etc. Till now, you must have observed that after eating or being in contact with any food or chemical you get an attack of asthma. Please avoid all such materials.
For post nasal drip, you can start tablet azithromycin (1 400 mg tablet once daily for 5 days) and tablet cetrizine (1 tablet after dinner for 1 week).
When you get an attack of asthama, start with ventolin and symbicort. Drink coffee, if you feel like. If you feel that your asthma is aggravating, get hospitalized and get salbutamol nebulization.
