A member asked:
2yr old diagnosed with seasonal (winter) asthma. she's been given a nebuliser which helps loads, but what other things could we do for her to help?

Winter asthma: If you live in a cold weather area you want her to wear a mask or a scarf that covers her noseandmouth. Indoors, you may want to check yourheatingfilters. Make sure you are not using excessive humidity and the temperature is not set to high.

Add additional med: If your daughter continues to wheeze even with albuterol, she may need an inhaled steroid in addition. You can also look at measures such as encasing pillows and mattresses in anti-house dust mite covers, eliminating stuffed animals, etc. Consult your pediatrician.
