A member asked:
What can you give your 8 year old child to help with his asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See his doctor: Treatment for asthma is generally comprised of treatment with "rescue" medicines (albuterol inhaled), and controller medications (usually inhaled steroids). There are no good over the counter remedies for asthma, so i would recommend seeing your physician for further details concerning these treatment options.
