when he was first born he made a noise breathing but the doctor said it was mucas.when he was 3 weeks old he was hospitalised with bronchiolitis which was pretty severe.He left hospital with atrovent and salbutamol inhalers which they said he would need to use for about the next 3 weeks.Anyway he reacted badly to salbutamol and was taken off it but has continued to need the atrovent ever since.He makes a constent noise all the time when breathing and has days when he wheezes morning to night.I cant let him cry for any amount of time cos he wheezes and coughs till he,s purple and when he first wakes up in the morning he,ll cough until his chests clears.If you place your hand on his back you can feel how bad his chest is.I have lost count of the number of doctors and paediatritians we,ve seen and have been told everything from its just taking time to get over the bronchilitis to he,s a happy wheezer!!!!! and even that he may need to be tested for cystic fibrosis ,any advice please
