If she is breathing without respiratory distress, it is better to allow her to breathe on her own without getting her on these nebs. The thing about the nebs, like many respiratory drugs, they can may it necessary to need to use them in order to breath with ease. Try to monitor her breathing. Identify what triggers her breathing difficulties and avoid those things. Pets, dust, molds, mildews, irritants such as paint, perfumes etc can be tough on breathing. Asthma is basically an allergic response of her body to elements in the environment. She very well may outgrow it. Best of health to her and peace to you.

Both of my children have used the respules, but not the inhaler. They do not have issues with asthma on a daily basis. They have problems when they get a cold, or during allergy season (now). The respules were prescribed after my son began coughing, and his cough lasted a month. Tests have shown that my children do not have infections, only coughs. They just can't seem to get rid of the coughs after being sick, so we do the respules twice a day and the albuterol three times a day.

My daughter is 18 months and uses Pulmicort Respules (purple) in her inhaler. Her asthma is not bad, there have been no real bad attacks. But I believe one of the reasons she has the Pulmicort Respules is because she had some lung problems when she was born. She had PPHN.

My son was started on Pulmicort via nebulizer at 15 months. He had been in and out of this hospital twice within a month. We did pulmicort for maintiance from March until the first freeze for about 3 yrs. He now only needs asthma meds about 6 times a year.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

IT HAS TO DO WITH AGE, WEIGHT, AND OTHER THINGS NOT A NUMBER OR HOW BAD IN GENERAL, IT'S NOTHING YOU JUST WANT TO START HIM ON, IF THE DOCTORS THINK ITS TIME THEN MAKE THE CHOICE, BUT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO ASTHMA MEDICATION

Not really bad, My 4 year old uses it as a maintenance medication. Also, he uses the .5mg not the .25mg.

That is something you HAVE to ask her doctor.
