my 9 mos old grandson was recently diagnosed with children s asthma and put on a nebulizer with albuterol every 4 - 6 hours. although his wheezing has stopped, he does not eat, runs a slight temperature and wants to sleep all day. he will drink juice, but not even his milk. I did not give him the am treatment and there was an immediate improvement and no fever. upon give him the evening treatment, he immediately laid back, was very non responsive to playing, etc. and his temp rose to 101.2. needless to say I have not given any more treatments and he s back to his normal self. any explanation for this?
Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. First, I would suggest you not to manipulate treatment without checking with doctor. It can be really harmful to change dose/timings of medications by self.2. Common cause of asthma-like illness at 9 months of age is viral infection. So temperature can go up and down due to infection itself. Correlation of temperature with dosage of medicines may be a co-incidence.3. Some cough syrups/medications for respiratory illnesses may contain Chat Doctor.
