Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too.
The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.
You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info the American Academy of Otolaryngology)

There are some insurances that cover mold and will help to pay for fixing the problems. Or speak with a contractor to see who could come into your home to fix the problem and possibly they can give you an estimate.
Talk with your child's doctor about looking into an allergy medicine that can help your son as well. Mold can be very dangerous to children with asthma and certain allergies. I also suggest you invest in some air purifiers with HEPA filters to put in the rooms your son spends his time in. Good ones can run $100-$200, so go on to Amazon.com and look at a few and read the reviews on them. Depending on how big your house is, I would say get two or three. One for his bedroom and one for the living room and any other room he is in. Most people say to avoid the ones with ionizers because they are actually harmful for the environment.

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.
I cured my Asthma the natural way?

I have the same problem with allergies and asthma i'm currently in an older apartment trying to finish school. I vacume every day. keep beding off the floor and spray clorox bleach on my walls expecially in the bathroom to keep down mold. it helps me somewhat but i'm ready to get out of here...i've never looked for an organization to help but then again i'm trying to fix the problem for myself

Try the Habitat for Humanity site. They help people all over in different counties. Also talk to people from your local salvation army...if they can't help, they generally know someone who can. Or try Oprah Winfrey, she loves to give things away to people who need them...don't quit looking, there are people out there to help...you just have to find them.
