It should give better relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297579 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:24:37 +0000 erwoo 1297579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yeah, i'm hoping different trees and grass will make a difference. He's also allergic to dust mites and thankfully no more carpet in his room here! Although, the dense population is making him sick (most colds) all the time now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297571 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:23:32 +0000 erwoo 1297571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oh, and one more thing, see if they can check her oxygen level. That was really important for my son. One time it dipped sooo low (91 and 98+ is good) and I didn't even realized his chest was so far in when he breathed. He had to do back-to-back treatment at his allergist office when he only went in to do a follow up. Turns out he had bronchitis... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297550 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:19:33 +0000 looch 1297550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had to use a combination of albuterol and another steroid, I am not at home, otherwise I would look it up for you. That magic combination came to be on out third try, if you will, so our experience is to work with the doc and touch base if you don't see improvement.</p> <p>Best of luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297541 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:16:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1297541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: oh no!! Hopefully the new environment won't spark the allergy induced asthma. It's so sad when kids are sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297514 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:05:54 +0000 erwoo 1297514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: It sounds like a mask and spacer just like what @T-Mom: uses for her DS. We also have that for travelling since lugging around a nebulizer isn't the most convenient. Nebulizer machines cost around $40 and our insurance didn't cover it (BCBS) so I just sucked up the cost (spent a little more at $50 for a cuter one) since it was a necessity. I was shocked our insurance didn't cover the cost of the neb machine... but oh well! Hope she feels better soon though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297505 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:01:46 +0000 autumnlove 1297505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: ok, ours is just an albuterol inhaler with a mask. 2 puffs...we probably need something stronger!<br /> DH is going to call her Dr! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297500 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 11:00:42 +0000 T-Mom 1297500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS uses a mask and spacer.. And he uses xopenex..<br /> It's not exactly albuterol, but it's in the same class.. Talk to your ped if its not effective? With the spacer they only have to take 10 breaths, it's a lot faster. But my DS is also 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297493 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:57:56 +0000 erwoo 1297493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Same one! I had no idea they had different characters for kids until I started looking to buy a firetruck nebulizer. Sorry your LO has to use it... My oldest might have allergy induced asthma b/c for a while, every time he gets sick, his oxygen levels go down which then requires treatment. He's been okay the last few months so we'll see. And we're in a different country with different trees/grass, etc. so hopefully it helps? We'll see in the Spring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297476 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:52:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1297476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: Yes!!! It's pink and purple. Super manly. </p> [attach=303/13/my9o39.439x600.Rhino.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297462 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:47:25 +0000 erwoo 1297462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: LOL! Is it purple too?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297458 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:45:47 +0000 Alivoo01 1297458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: Jinx! Haha! DS has a dragon/rhino mask as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297457 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:45:15 +0000 Alivoo01 1297457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oh no! Maybe your LO needs a different strength of albuterol?</p> <p>Every time DS gets sick, we use it and it really helps break up/loosen the congestion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297456 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:45:01 +0000 erwoo 1297456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Check with her ped. Maybe the dosage isn't correct? I'm not sure if it's the same for infants as it is for toddlers. And how it's administered either. My son uses a mask that stays on his face the entire 10 minutes. His allergist gave him a dragon mask which he loves and I bought him a firetruck nebulizer to help with the boredom of sitting there for 10 minutes multiple times a day back then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297393 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:21:14 +0000 Mamaof2 1297393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Aww, sorry to hear - my DS's 1st treatment at the drs office gave him instant relief! They sent us home with a prescript to order a neb to keep at home!</p> <p>I would def ask the dr for something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297384 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:17:45 +0000 autumnlove 1297384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: she is eight months old and she is still gasping for air during her coughing fits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297365 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:08:06 +0000 lilyann 1297365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to use it when my son got RSV, it gave him instant relief. Like the first time we used it in the docs office, DS fell asleep towards the end of the treatment because he could finally relax, I cried so hard! Sorry it doesn't seem to work for your LO :sad: Hope you can find something that does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297357 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:06:56 +0000 Mamaof2 1297357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Nebulizer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297355 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:06:50 +0000 erwoo 1297355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It did for my oldest. Do you hear a more productive cough afterwards or do you still hear tightness in his/her chest? How long do you do it for? And how old is your LO? Mine started using a nebulizer at 3.5 years old and needed to use it twice since. He's 4.5 now. Sorry your LO isn't feeling well and needs to use a nebulizer. One time we had to combine with steroids every 4 hours b/c it was that bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297353 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:06:15 +0000 matador84 1297353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did several times when he was really congested and it helped break up the mucous in his chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297350 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:04:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1297350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: What's a manual mask? We used a nebulizer I think but we didn't hold it onto her face. We would wait for her to go to sleep and then hold it up for her so she would breath it for the allotted time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-any-luck-with-albuterol-treatments#post-1297345 Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:03:41 +0000 autumnlove 1297345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Yay! Did you use a nebulizer or a manual inhaler? </p>
