I have two with asthma. I know that DS's situation won't apply to everyone but wanted to put it out there in case someone finds it helpful. My DS7 would get the nagging cough that wouldn't go away with every cold. Every infection triggered a month of the nebulizer. He also got strep at the drop of a hat. We finally got his tonsils and adenoids removed last winter. It has made a HUGE difference. He has been able to recover from "colds" in about a week with no month long neb ordeal. His asthma has improved significantly. The ENT and allergist theorized that he always had a low grade infection in his tonsils that contributed to systemic inflammation. Life has been so much better for him. He still has asthma but it is much more "normal" now.
