A member asked:

5 yr old takes deep breaths, chest oppression. doc said no asthma, gave zyrtec. should i get 2nd opinion? can i give inhaled steroid? albuterol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest oppression ???: Your description of the issue is too vague to provide a clear picture of what is going on. A second opinion is certainly something you can pursue. I would NEVER give a kid either of the listed drugs without the advise & supervision of a treating physician.Any drug strong enough to help is strong enough to do harm.
