Reaction to Albuterol

Hello, Mamas! I need some feedback. Our 3 year old son has asthma issues only when he has a respiratory illness. During those time, we have successfully given him his albuterol inhaler as a daily treatment for the wheezing and coughing until the illness subsides and he no longer needs it. That lasts maybe a week at the most. It's been over 10 months since the last time he had to use the inhaler, and we had to use it last night. However, within about 5 minutes, he started itching on his legs like crazy and the left side of face got...

If My Son Was Allergic to Our New Kittens What Types of Allergies Would He Have?

My son has a mild allergy to pollen and he takes Zyrtec daily for it. He is constantly around dogs when he is at my mother's house, which is at least twice a week. So we decided to get a couple of kittens. I have them on a trial run and I can return the kittens if my son is allergic. So, what types of allergic reaction would my son have to them? I understand red eyes and itchy nose but what about coughing or congestion?? Just thought I would throw the question out there to see if anyone has experienced it. Thanks

Allergies/ Asthma and Allergy Shots

My daughter who is eight years old and unfortunately taken after me with allergies. This particular Summer she has had a heck of a time. She has coughed all summer literally. She coughs up so much flim that she vomits. She has been on various antibiotics, and she is now on prednisone which is the third time this year. Her pediatrician ordered a chest xray which was negative. So my thoughts were okay why is she coughing so much. Is it the drainage, something she is around. The pediatrician and allergist both recommended allergy shots...
