Need Help with Asthma

My son is 5 1/2 years old and he has asthma. He has non-stop coughing. The doctor put him on Advair twice a day. He has been feeling good for 2 weeks but we stopped p.e. in school, soccer, and restrict his time outside especially at night. This week he was allowed to go back to normal routine.

My Infant Has Major "Gunk" Again, What Can I Do?

Hello Moms! Ok, I am sure I am not the only child with this problem- especially since we live in the dfw area. It has gone from 80 degrees to 20 degrees in one week and all three of my kiddos are "gunkie". Now, my 7 and 4 year old I can give over the counter meds to help them manage.

Child with Respiratory Needs Mom's Advice, Please

My dd, has had respiratory problems every winter. As soon as cold season starts and hits her is goes straight to her lungs. She doesn't get a runny rose or fever.
