is my asthma getting me or am i getting sick

[Guest guest]

No, you should be fine with the Advair/Singulair. Ive taken it this way for well over a year now with no effects. Ive actually taken it in advair, flonase, and a cream form for eczema on my feet all at the same time come to think of it.

Re: is my asthma getting me or am i getting sick

i am going to call my doctor back 2morrow for sure, cause i think i got a sinus infection. friday was so stuffy i could hardly breathe out my nose, then everyday day since like thursday wake up hardly able to talk due to hoarseness. and i am still stuffy and yesterday i pretty much coughed all evening, and i started the inhaler on thursday so u would think it would have started to work by now i feel so crappy and just want to feel better.

here is an update i went to the doctors today and i got a quick exam she looked

at ears,throat, felt glands and checked lungs. never did say what was wrong,

but said i needed to go on antibiotics as well as still using my inhaler and

said if this does not work then i need to a specialist. so for now i am going

to take antibiotics and the inhaler cause my cough went from dry to semi junkie.

and willow i saw ur comment on the nebulizer post and i had some questions for u

.. u said that the nebulizer works good for u. i was wondering if u could tell

me based on what i post if i could benefit from one: i sometimes get so much

phlegm that usually makes me want to throw up and the day i had my breathing

test i had so much phlegm that i kept throwing up and i did te first test took a

breathing treatment and that got rid of about 85% of my phlegm and it made it so

much eaiser to do the second test. and plus when i get sick i get a good chesty

cough with it so i was wondering if a nebulizer would help me in any way and if

so how do it get one?

so when I run a low grade fever that spikes in the afternoon, it's always a

mystery to know if I'm actually getting sick, or just flaring. Last month the

doctor ordered some antibiotics because he didn't like my afternoon temps, and I

did feel better, but never did know what was wrong or if it was an infection,

which part of me was unhappy.

Hi:I know you didn't ask for my opinion so I hope you don't mind my weighing in. I absolutely think you should see a specialist. Even they struggle sometimes and they specialize in these issues.

The other thing my doctor recommended when I had a cold and was quite phlegmy was Mucinex. I had to use smaller doses than they recommended but you might want to ask your doctor about that and  give it a try. 

Hope you feel better soon.
