What medication can we use to help my child with his asthma?

Asthma: There are currently no OTC medicines available for asthma. Please take your son to his Pediatrician so he can be closely monitored and treated properly.

Childhood asthma: First consider non-medicine interventions (smoking,pets, carpets etc).Next for moderate to severe asthma there are a couple of mainstays:An inhaled steroid used twice daily-every day;an antihistamine like zyrtec or claritin.If your child is still requiring frequent use of their rescue medicine then your doc may suggest adding singulair (montelukast). Talk to your doc about seeing a peds pulmonologist.
