Krsyd:

I take albuterol & pulmicort. Plrase reDad on. Al though a steroid, Pulmicort does not travel through the bloodstream when inhaled.

First of all,if you don't feel comfortable with the medication your child is taking & his rections, by all means see a pulmonologist. Contrary to what your doctor says, they have more experience with lung disordera than pediatricians & family practitioners. I speak from experience.
At the age of 48 I was diagnosed with emphysemia. My family do9ctor was treating me. I was so over medicated i ended up in the hospital. My husband made an appointment with a pulmonologist at a research hospital. I has decreased my medication substantially. I use Combivent during the day as a fast acting inhaler & Pulmicort & serevent in the A.M. & P.M.
I feel much better & am active.

You need to see a pediatric Pulmonologist for you peace of mind & your child's welfare. They are specialist's & are much bettwer equipped to deal with your chil;d's problem.

Let me know how you make out.
