[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 298252, member: 1722"] Loth, Duckie's asthma attack lasted from the very first day of school until late October when she started the Asmanex. It was completely gone within three days. Here's the best part: Duckie was having a hard time controlling herself at school... talking, easily distracted and being a general pita. She was even blowing it at cheer by being very ODDish. Her teacher agreed that it was like a switch was thrown as soon as she started the asthma treatment plan (and she was on prednisolone at the time!) and her behavior overall has been very good since then with only fairly minor dips into gfgdom. I think I'd be inclined to try another maintenance medication because I'm sure the ongoing asthma attack can't be helping her behavior. And by the way, Delsym did nothing to help the coughing in our case but it may help Missy. Also, do you have an asthma action plan? It can help you know the best course of action for Missy when she's having an attack. We use our peak flow chart to monitor Duckie to know how her breathing is. You really should consider a peak flow monitor if you don't already have one. [/QUOTE]
