Been there done that. What worked for him was Flovent inhaler twice a day. Once he was on it we BH never had to use Ventolin (albuterol) or the nebulizer which used to be the routine for him. Feel free to PM me if you need more info.

Right now shes on ventolin and flovent twice a day. Worked for a while but when I stop for one day she back to the wheezing. I need something Perment. Dont want her to be on it all her life.

Are you using it with a spacer? Did she have a stridor as an infant? When she wheezes do you go to the doctor and determine the source? Sometimes a sound from higher up mah sound like wheezing but it's not originating from the lungs at all but rather the airways (trachea).

Yes I am. We count ten seconds then let the air out then again. Thats 4 times morning and 4 at night. Yes doc said shes a bad case of wheezing he said if this doesn't help he sending me to a lung doc. Which he would rather not cuz first thing they to is send down cameras! ( neither do I want too)

No such thing as to young to have asthma, just to you to diagnose

Ask your doctor about singulair. It worked well for my son, together with the Flovent.
Also have you ruled out allergies?

Is singulair for babys? Its interesting you bought up allergies, cuz she does have rashes on her hands..feet. However I Cant think of anything she can be allergic too. Till recently she has only drank bottles of neocate.

I don't know much about baby s and wheezing. but I do know that I suffer from acid reflux gerd and at times I sound like I am wheezing. I was told that gerd mimics asthma.So I take medicine for reflux. Good luck!
