[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 188191, member: 1233"] Asthma can come on at any age. It is also often diagnosis'd when the child has a cold or the flu. Keep using the albuterol as directed. If it doesn't help ask for xopenex. It is far more expensive, but worth it if your loved one can't breathe. I tihnk seeing a specialist or at the very least her regular doctor rather than the nurse practitioner is a good idea. Be sure you get a preventative if she has many problems. Do some research before you put her on advair. It seems our docs LOVE the stuff but I have been reading about many problems if you are on it for a long time. I worry about thank you being on it. It is a combination of 2 medications, one of which is supposed to be not very safe. So be sure you read up before you go in, and ask lots of questions. I am so very sorry she has this to deal with. It can be VERY scary when you can't breathe. Going into the bathroom and turning the shower on as hot at it will go so you can breathe in the steam is a very helpful thing when the asthma is bad.
