      Good job on the flu vaccination. If your son hasn't had two in a "flu season" before, then he does need two this year based on his age of 3.

    • Close Asthma
      Type: Childhood Asthma

      My son, Willie, was diagnosed back in January. His triggers are colds and weather change. He takes singulair 1x/day(4mg) and Albuterol by neb every 4 hours as needed. I was already a member of this community, I just don't remember what email I used, so I had to rejoin.

      Treatments

      Singulair Working / Worked
      Keeps his asthma under control unless he has a bad cold
