Just Found Out My Son Has Asthma

I just found out last month my 7 year old son has asthma. I don't know anyone who has asthma. The Dr. put him on Asmanex (once a day) and Xopenex (inhaler). I can handle the Asmanex, but when do I have him use the inhaler? How do I know if his cough is asthma or just a cold? I have 4 boys, colds are a part of life. I already feel bad for not seeing something was wrong. I feel worse not knowing what to do. Please give me some advice.

Cough That Won't Go Away in a Almost 4 Year Old

I am so worried, my son has had a cough since early October. I have taken to the pediatrician and he has given him a total of 5 round of antibiotics and antibiotic shots included. He's now on Zithromax. The Dr ran a bunch of blood work and said everythig is fine but it points to sinus infection and bronchitis. I was really scared of something like cancer or a tumor but the dr says the bllod work would show it. He also is taking Xopenex and Pulmicort by nebulizer a few times a day. It just wotn't go away. I am so worried that there is...

Xopenex HFA & Singular Medicine

My 6 year old granddaughter has been taking Xopenex HFA inhaler for a few months now as well as Singular tablets at other times. I have noticed a severe personality change. She is typically meek & mild but after taking this she becomes angry, irritable and down right ugly to the family. I have researched as much as I can but there seems to be a roadblaock to any manufacturer wanting to admit to this. I am not looking for a law suit or money just verification that this is what is causing it so we can handle this accordingly.

Treatment for Allergies and Mild Asthma

Hello Everyone. I really need some advice on what to do for my 6 year old son. First a little background: he was born with severe acid reflux and was on Zantac syrup for 3 years; then at age 4, he was tested for allergies (in which he is mostly allergic to grass, pollens, and trees) and put on Zyrtec. After a while, the Zyrtec stopped working and his allergies got worse. At age 5, he starting getting allergy shots (he still gets them every 2 weeks). At age 6, after a bout with pneumonia, we found out he has mild asthma. September...
