Suggest Treatment For Asthma In A 8 Months Old Child
My 8 month old daughter has been diagnosed w asthma but been on albuterol/pulmicort for 6 months and no improvement. She had eczema and it is irritated all the time. I am planning to switch her formula to soy. I do believe it could be allergies. How long if this is the case to see improvement with the new formula?

Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
You are rightly guessed it is due to allergy.
Allergic rhinitis may be acting as a trigger.
In addition to your Albuterol,add Ebastine and Monteleucast in consultation with your doctor.
This may help in alleviating symptoms fast.
