Suggest Solution For Wheezing
Hi,
My daughter is 6 years old and she is suffering from wheezing since the age of 4 years.(she gets wheezing when she eats something cold,sour or from dust)
The doctor has prescribed asthalin inhaler(6 puffs a day when she has cough) and 2 puffs of flohale 125 inhaler every day (2 times) with a spacer, daily one montair 5. She has lot of itching in the eyes.
My question is are the sprays good for her health and how long can she take them. I heard from my friend that the inhalers damage the lungs in the long run. And can she overcome wheezing,if yes, then by what age and what precautions you can suggest.

Inhalors do not damage the lungs, infact repeated wheezing episodes are detrimental to health and have to be controlled. Some children can overcome wheezing after 6-7 years of age.
