Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 When my daughter was small, she had serious asthma as well as frequent pneumonia. Her doctor said to never give her allergy meds nor cold meds to her. He stated that these meds thickened the mucus which worsen the asthma and pneumonia (SP??) I know if I am having asthma, I have to keep off the allergy meds or I get worse. For right now, try drinking lots and lots of water to get the mucus thin again. It may be a good idea to go and breath some hot steam. > > Has anyone ever had problems taking Allegra-D since they have asthma? > I was recently diagnosed as having asthma.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 We've found that Guifenesin is good to thin mucous and help with sinus and lung congestion. That was our doctor's recommendation. --- In , " jackiebreeze " <jackiebreeze@...> wrote: When my daughter was small, she had serious asthma as well as frequent pneumonia.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Ventolin HFA Albuterol Sulfate. Elvira [] ALLEGRA-D AND ASTHMA Has anyone ever had problems taking Allegra-D since they have asthma? I was recently diagnosed as having asthma. I went for allergy testing on Friday and had to be off the Allegra-D for at least three days. I stopped taking it on Wenesday and just took it again today. My breathing improved over the past couple days. Then about an hour after taking the Allegra-D again this morning I have been feeling short of breath and it is getting worse. Thanks Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I am using guifenesin right now. I have a horrible virus that is mostly in my lungs that developed into infection. The Dr told me to take it along with a list of other meds. > > When my daughter was small, she had serious asthma as well as frequent > pneumonia.
