Child. Cold, Cough, Difficulty In Breathing. Diagnosed Asthma. On Ventolin And Flovent Puffs. Continue Medication?
Hello I'm a mother of 17 months old. He's has a colds and cough right now. He was in the hospital 3 weeks ago with the same problem. They said its asthma. I'm giving him 2 puffs of ventolin every 4 hours and 2 puffs of flovent 2X a day. Do i need to continue giving the ventolin every 4 hours at night while he's sleeping? I can see his having hard time breathing. But it says on the package do not exceed 4 puffs a day for children and 8 puffs for adult. I don't wanna give him to much ventolin. I need your help.
