Hey I have a couple of questions. First, I have a friend who's son has

asthma or so they think. The docs are doing a sweat test some time this

month. He is doing pulmicort respules now and she's noticed he's been

having a sore throat. Is this common with pulimcort? Could it be a

reaction from it? I have no real dealings with this med so I thought I'd

ask the experts, lol.

Also is almost 5 and has never done a PFT. When do they do them? and

if she should've already had one done should I insist on it? She does have

lung problems so I was just wondering if we should do this soon.

Thanks,

Jen mom to 4(5 in a month) w/cf, Yolanda 4 w/cf, Phynix 14 months and

running w/cf and Orion 2 months NO CF!

Hi Jen,

My 6 w/cf has been on Pulmicort for a couple of years and I do not

remember a sore throat. you do have to be on the stuff for a while for it to get

in your system and work well. now for the PFT's my has never had one done

but, each time we go to clinic he does try to get her to blow into the machine

but she refuses to do that. Hope this helps.

Can your daughter tell she is getting something inhaled? My son was

given a sample inhaler with 200 puffs but he says he feels/senses

nothing coming out of the inhaler. He says it is empty.

we do ours in the nebulizer. It runs really fast thru there compared to the

Zopenex or Albuterol.
