Thank you violetsmom13,

Its such a horrible feeling to not be able to do anything. The cough was the worst I've experienced in my life. He vomited 4 times from coughing. I was so desperate I was starting to think about taking him to the ER.

I called his Doctor AGAIN...they gave him so prednisone and pulmicort. He is sleeping now finally, and the mediction seem to help, the cough has subsided although its not totally gone, but it looks like it will!

Its been a long, long loooooooooong day. I just pray that tomorrow it is gone! He is coughing still but just a little bit, I have faith that it will go away all together tonight.

Its horrible, to see your child suffering and not be able to do anything. We are mommy.... we are 'supposed' to take care of them!

Thanks to the other person who posted a reply here for me, and all your suggestions, they were very helpful and appreciated I can't remember your screen name and I am so drained right now, I need to go lay down and see if I can catch some Z'z.

Thanks again and God bless!

I feel your pain!! My son is 6 and suffered from asthma/chornic cought since he was 12 months old. We use pulmicort 2x daily as a preventative (3 years) and albuterol as needed. He's been sick for a few days and the albuterol doesn't seem to help. He's also on prenisone. One thing that has helped is I've turned my heat down in the house from 72 to 68 degrees and also put a humidifier in his bedroom. Good luck...this seems to be a bad year for asthma
