BronchitisWhat are the Symptoms and Treatments

My baby is almost 6 months old. She's on a neb every 4-6 hours because of bronchitis, but her doctor said it could be an early sign of asthma. Now she went to the doctor today for fever and a cough and they said it was her air ways and "asthma like symptoms". But they told me they can't diagnose her yet.

Many doctors wait until they are 2. No reason just a habit. We had a doctor that called it reactive airway diesease. They treat the symptoms anyway.

I'm going on a hiking expedition and the First Aid Kit list we got says that I should pack asthma medication as well, even if none of our group members have diagnosed asthma. All the First Aid Kits that I've seen on the market here in Singapore don't have asthma puffers, so I'm planning to get it separately. Does anyone know if a prescription is needed to buy asthma puffers? Thanks in advance.

Yes you need a prescription. Call your doctors office and ask them about it. Most likely they will have a trial size albuterol inhaler that they can give you. Instead of the normal 60 puffs the vial only has like 15 or 30 or something like that. Make sure you have some benadryl too for allergic reactions to plants and stuff. Anyways I hope I helped. take care and enjoy your hike

I have recently been diagnosed with asthma. Since I am very susceptible to the side affects of my inhaler, are there any home remedies in case it gets a little hard to breathe? I'm just talking about when my breathing is a little bit below normal capacity.
I'm looking for nonmedicated solutions, and not solutions for actual attacks, but when it feels mildly uncomfortable. I have a daily inhaler and a rescue inhaler in case of a serious attack.

Some things I do are drink small sips of hot water, caffeine (helps open the airways), and rest as much as possible.

They recently diagnosed me with Asthma and have me on two types of inhalers.
I really think it's Chronic Bronchitis.

What symptoms distinguish these two ailments from each other?
I'm 42 and lived with a smoker for 25 years.

Chronic bronchitis is usually found only in heavy smokers. Asthma usually presents itself at a very young age while the other one presents in the 50+ age group. Chronic bronchitis is also associated with a lot of sputum production when compared to asthma. Asthma can also be due to some medication, food, pollen or dust to which you are allergic to.

I have asthma (minor, but still, I have it), and I've been told that swimming is the best thing an asmatic can do.

Why is that? I know that all arobic exercises are good for your asthma but swimming seems to be the first things people tell you is good. So, why swimming as opposed to say, jogging or biking.

I'm just curious, considering starting a regular swimming workout. Thanks.

Because of the humidity. Your also not breathing in dry air and allergens that can trigger an attack.

Asthma is chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways of the lungs. 75% cases diagnosed before age 7. For many, remission occurs during puberty but comes back later. Usually doesn’t develop after age 50. The airways close up so exhaling becomes difficult. Symptoms: intermittent sob, cough, wheezing, chest tightness. Usually worse at night and/or early a.m. Symptoms go away after time or with treatment, so reversibility is easier than with COPD. Wheezing usually occurs exhaling, not as much with inhaling (this is called stridor), that is a high-pitched whistle sound. Cough is dry or wet (pale yellow or mucoid). Chest tightness from the airways closing up: band-like constriction. Exacerbating factors cause the inflammation of the airways. Allergens are a big factor: mold, pollen, dust, furry animals, roaches, smoke, fumes, mite poop. Cold air can trigger off asthma attack. Exercise induced asthma — 10-15min after exercise asthma attack occurs. Change in weather. Viral and bacterial illness. Postnasal drip and GERD. Many will have allergies of the skin (eczema) and/or allergic rhinitis (nose allergies). Nasal polyps can be a sign person has asthma, and in this aspirin can make it worse. Occupational exposures.
