aspiration pneumonia is more likely the culprit. That is what my Micah had

over and over. They tried to tell me he had asthma also but he does not. As

soon as he was on medication for GERD he did not need any ashtma meds.

My oldest NDS had severe repeated sinus infections. He had a CT scan and it

showed his sniuses were so inflammed that you could barely pass a wire thru

them, He coughed every night as soon as he laid his head down. He was with me

when I took my youngerst (DS) to the ENT. He took a peek at my oldest and said

" he has reflux " . We treated him for it. Sinuses are all better no more

infections and he is 22 now. He no longer coughs all night. So definetly check

out GERD and also have them check with a speak therapist to see how he is

eating.

I have read several articles recently linking acid reflux as an asthma

trigger. Perhaps you might want to visit with your Doctor about whether

food is somehow making its way into lungs and causing breathing problems.

My kids have asthma. When they were little, and did not want to mess with

the breathing machine, the Dr. told me to just let the mist blow into their

face and let them breathe it in that way.

Subject: Shortness of breath/Bronchitis

Hi there everyone. I am posting this question for my mom in regards of

my 2 year old brother Tony. Tony has been sick for a couple of weeks

now, he has shortness in breath and struggles to breath, the doctors

prescribed him Albuterol Sulfate 0.083% he takes it with the little

Inspiration machine and a breathing mask. It is really hard because he

fights it, cries, moves around a lot.

The doctors in Arizona told my mom that Tony has bronchiolitis. While

she thought he was getting better they decided to take a trip to visit

family in California for the holidays, while in California he was

rushed to urgent care at a hospital here. My mom was told he has

bronchitis. They decided to go back to Arizona so he could be

comfortable at home.

I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts, experience, advice,

suggestions or anything at all on his bronchitis and him struggling to

breath. These shortness of breath attacks he gets happen mostly when

he is trying to eat. Once food is placed into his mouth he lifts up

his head and chin and then brings his head back down again. Looks like

he is also struggling to swallow. It is heart breaking to see :[

I'm off to work, have a good day everyone!
