Please help if anyone has any ideas much appreciaed as im not even really sure where to start with what to say to dr…
A: Forget the miracle crap, hon, listed above… just a good way to separate you from your money.
Before seeing your next doc, do some investigation of your own. Are your sinus problems related to the season, pollens, etc.?? That you have thrush (I’m assuming in your mouth) indicates that your immune system isn’t working properly.
Begin with diet… lots of people have allergies that show up in the weirdest ways. Most allergists suggest that you eliminate a diet problem with starting from scratch… a chore to be sure.
Begin with nothing but lamb and whole grain rice for a week (as well, be sure that there are not things in your environment that are setting things off)
Then add one thing to that every three days — of course keep a diary.
Many people have allergies to strawberries, melons, pork to name a few…. wheat, dairy products peanuts are all big ones as well. (You may be taking medicines that knock down one thing, only to cause something else to occur…)
If you add too many things too quickly, you may not be able to pin point your exact problem(s).
So your investigation can start from exposure to a few things, and increase to find your problem, as suggested above or you can stay where your are with your present exposures, and add things that help most people….
Several things for sure you ought to do… eliminate white things from your diet… sugar, corn sweeteners which are in most soft drinks, white flower, white bread, cakes, pies, anything, really, that is man made. Buy the book by Andrew Weil, MD called The Anti-inflammatory Diet… He’s no nut case, Harvard trained, and well thought of in the field. It may be that you have genetic markers for Shoengrin’s or other conditions that you may indeed be able to control by diet. Many physicians are now recommending that you use a probiotic…expensive, but at least over the counter… Align is one, and Culturelle is another… capsules that contain good bacteria that you need for proper digestion. Most docs as well suggest that you eliminate all saturated fats from your diet, eat more veggies that you steam, and fruits. Use olive oil on your salids, not a salad dressing… Eggs are a good source of fatss, and protein if you have no allergy to them…. do some research to see if milk products are setting you off, and be sure your elimination is daily — stool softeners, magnesium oxide, with lots of water… (2-3 tabs several times per day with lots of water). Steak, fatty meats, fried things, fast foods etc, ought to be eliminated. You can lower your cholesteral by 30 point in less than two months if your breakfast is 1/4 c boiled Scottish oats (steel cut oats) with some milk (test first) blue berries, walnuts, ground flax seed meal (also see if you have a nut allergy before you begin using this food as well)
You didn’t tell me your age,weight, level of activity, what kind of job you do, what your exposures are to plant materials, or household chemicals, or much else, so I’m a bit stranded. Write if you have questions.
Q: 10 month old coughing!!! Please help!!?
Hello, good morning 
Aiden woke up coughing really bad with a dry cough and is wheezing. He has no fever. Started maybe because my nephew has been here since thursday last week because he is sick so since he doesn’t go to school, we watch him 
My nephew went to the drs on Monday and my sister said the dr took xrays to check from pneumonia and he saw something so he prescribed him antibiotics. When I looked up symptoms for pneumonia, my son or nephew doesn’t really have symptoms for it. They both have asthma.
I really hope this (pneumonia)is NOT what my son is. About 4/5 months ago, Aiden had a cough and was wheezing… so our pedi prescribed him pro-air with a inhaler and albuterol and budesonide breathing treatments for coughing and wheezing.
We just called the pedi’s office and left a voice mail so we are waiting for a phone call back.
I already gave him the pro air a little bit ago and my husband is giving him the albuterol and I haven’t heard in my cough. I hope it’s okay to give him this even though the dr didn’t give me the okay yet.
Advice please? Should I stop the breathing treatments until I get drs permission?
(He told us, if we ever had breathing problems again with him to automatically use them.)
I fed him a bottle and he spit it uptwicewithin 15 mins
I really don’t know what to do 
A: My son is 10mths and his name is Aidan too!!
Anyway, lol, i would give the inhalers as you deem necessary.
did your doctor write an action plan for your to refer to at home? My daughter is asthmatic and she has an action plan we can look at to see what we should be doing
but if at anytime you think his breathing is being threatened in anyway then take him straight to hosp or call an ambulance. Respitory distress is not a good thing.
Watch the dip in his throat, make sure it is not being sucked right in with each breath.
Check his pulse and if his heartrate is really going very very fast
Check his tummy – look at the space on the sides of his belly just under his ribs. If that space is really getting sucked in with each breath or you can see the space between ribs being sucked in with each breath then also take him to a doc
Pneumonia must have a temperature as it is an infection so i don’t think this is your sons problem.
If you are at all worried take him to a hospital. Babies with possible respitory distress are always taken care of first
good luck

Q: Severe Allergies; Cant eat without getting sick!!?!?
My allergies have hit me really bad this spring. The doctor put me on Ventolin & Flovent inhalers, and also some nasal spray called Budesonide. But since I’ve been taking these, I haven’t been able to eat without getting sick. I had poutine earlier at the mall, and I eat poutine there ALL the time, and I was in a store looking at clothes and all of a sudden, I felt the color come out of my face, and felt very faint and like I was going to throw up right then and there…. I was RUNNING to the bathroom, I ALMOST threw up in the middle of the food court. It felt like a wave of nausea, just hit me, and it happened a few more times today but not as bad as in the mall. I cant even eat food. I’ve been eating tiny portions of food trying to keep it down. I’ve been hack up a lung cuz of a dry cough and I also cannot stop sneezing!!
Is it the inhalers making me sick? Maybe my allergies??
A: Geez it sounds like you’re having a miserable time of it. I would consult a pharmacist and see if the drugs you’re taking have any side effects like vomiting and nausea. If they do then it’s probably the drugs that are making you feel sick. You may also want to call the doctor’s office to see what they recomend

A: 1. Perfectly fine for children 12 months old to 8 years old – though it will need to be taken routinely during periods of sickness (it quells inflammation over a period of days).
2. Very mild side effects when used short term.
3. This is an inhaled steroid which is safe for use in children to prevent and treat respiratory inflammation, bronchitis, asthma, allergies among other things. The side-effects are more pronounced in someone taking this drug for months and years.
4. In the USA, the prescribing directions are “one inhalation twice daily for a period of 7-10 days” – it may not cure a cough in one day though – it depends on what is causing the cough.

A: The active ingredient in the capsule is Budesonide. The stabilizing agent is the dihydrate. IP means that it meets a certain standard but I’m only familiar with USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) standard. (I think IP is the Japanese standard)
Anyways, Buedesonide is a steroid and it works by controlling the inflammation in the lungs that is limiting your child’s breathing. First i’m going to explain why it is important to continue using this drug then I will go over the cautions.
Budesonide takes a couple days before it actually starts working. It is not a rescue medication. Rescue medications include bronchodilators such as ventolin (salbutamol) but if you use those too much, you child can become tolerant to the drug (need more drug to exact an effect). You want the budesonide to control the inflammation/congestion in the lungs because if the inflammation gets out of control, his breathing will be compromised and he will cough and would require the rescue drug. Excessive inflammation also damages lung tissue.
The precautions, budesonide is known as a glucocorticoid meaning that it mimics the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol pretty much shuts down the immune system but then again, thats how it works. Inflammmation is caused by an overactive immune system, therefore the steroid controls it. So the biggest precaution with steroid use is that it can make him more prone to a chest infection or if he already has a chest infection, it will take longer for him to recover. If the drug manages to get into the blood stream, he will be more susceptible for infections elsewhere.
Long term side effects are nasty especially if it gets into the blood stream and they include increase blood sugar levels (increase change of diabetes), increase cholesterol, blood pressure, cancer etc…
Note, these are long term side effects with EXCESSIVE use. There is a balance between short term and long term use. Asthmatics are on these medications for life but they aren’t dying off in crowds.
My best advice to you is to use this drug how it is intended to be used.
Balance out risk vs benefits. In your case I will keep using the drug each day for a couple months and stop after when the weather changes again. Use the drug only in time periods when his wheezing bouts are the worst and continue using it when he starts to improve and a couple days afterwards, then off.
