Nebulizer = Asthma?
Every time my 20-month-old son gets sick, the dr hears wheezing in his chest and gets him on Xopenex to clear up his lungs (administered via nebulizer). My Dr. then says that given his history of eczema and allergies (dust, dogs, cats), he probably has asthma. Every time he says this, it confuses me and I try to clarify whether my son actually has asthma or not and the dr always says, its safer to say he has asthma and treat him like he does than to say that he doesn't. OK. But my son only seems to need the nebulizer when he's sick. ...
