may 27 - still needing 2 puffs flovent, no albuterol

no albuterol
hopefully will get down to one puff of flovent sometime soon. but my first attempt was followed by a couple of coughs so I went back to two puffs for now.
still using Singulair in the hope that it lowers the need for higher doses of flovent...

may 16?

we have started again 2 puffs of flovent and two-4 albuterol each morning and evening . A does not cough continously throughout the day but his morning cough may come back later in the day if he feels cold or I do not know what else. I am worried cause we are not out of this yet. maybe it just takes a whole week?
tool pity and did not use the nebulizer since he had a nose bleed in the morning.

29 april-6 may

Between 29 april - may we gave Andy two puffs of flovent (220ug?) each morning and each evening. We also supplemented with albuterol, two puffs. He needed albuterol during soccer games and it seemed to help. He was getting better but now he may have another bug - head ache and a little too much mucus. No cough so far so I am relatively happy.
