reaction ? follow up daughters shot

[Guest guest]

I called my daughter's dr. to let them know she has bronchitis and how her

asthma flared the day(s) following her first shot(3). Of course the dr. wasnt

there so his nurse called me back. She said the flares were prob. because the

pollen was so high. I asked her about dosing and ask her about options like was

mentioned here(lower dose, alternate high dose/low dose every two weeks instead

of max. each time, etc). The nurse said it wouldn't make a difference as far as

having a reaction and because my dd's IgE is so high and she has so many

allergies that anything lower might not help her. I ask her if she though the

shot had anything to do with my daughter getting bronchitis and she said no but

I thought that upper resp. infections was a side effect. I also ask her about

what if's..like when would they not give the shot(S)for ex. fever, sick, etc.

and she said they go by her peak flow..if it is 20% under her norm. they wont

give the shot. I also ask her to have the dr. give me a call when he is there. I

was waiting for her to ask me why but she didnt.

I had my xolair shot today and ask the nurse the same questions about dosage

(I trust her more) and she said the same thing about a lower dose prob. wouldnt

be effective given her severe allergies so I feel a little better. So I guess

I'll keep her at the higher dose and see what happens after the next shot in a

week.

I'll let you know how things are going. If you thiink of any questions I

should ask her dr. other than what was mention above pls. let me know. Thank

you.
