Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

The course may be longer than expected. Please discuss with the ENT physician, 5 days v. 21 days. Did you have a test which indicates a GI parasite? The wheezing may also be related to an allergic reaction. A IgE total serum, assessment of peak flow or pulmonary function test is recommended. In addition, the use of SABA alone is discouraged, and should be used with a steroid for asthma. CVD vac.
