Yes, you really have to give her the albuterol if she can't breath. It
is the only thing to do.
If it were me, I would use EIS or cs in the nebulizer, with no DMSO at
all. Some allergic people are very sensitive to sulfers, so I would
not chance it.
I would really really talk to the doctor about the use of the steroid
inhalers. They all seem to love them, but they are of no use for
wheezing. They say they are to be used to reduce the inflammation in
the long run. However, if asthma is related to fungal infections as
more recent research indicates, it might only serve to increase the
infection, if there is one. Steroids can not be stopped cold turkey,
though, since the body becomes adapted to them.
My home made CS helps my asthma a great deal. I grew up with asthma
from the age of 2, so I know what your daughter is going through.
Best Wishes,
Kathryn

the asthma drugs too. Ugh. Xoepenex and Bud

make that stop. I didn't know what else to do. :-(
She does seem to be doing better now. She was worrying me this
morning.
But the CS and drugs in the nebulizer seem to be working now. Ugh.
Just
trying to stay out of the hospital! Will be nebulizing more CS in a
few
minutes. Is giving CS nebulized every 3-4 hours sufficient? Someone
