I may need to try the Singulair again. It was at a stressful time at DS's old school for him, and may not have been it at all. But I read lots of comments on the web about it. Our allergist told us that it was safe as well; but he also mentioned something about how some claimed depression and suicides because of it in teens. I looked up the comments; and they of course scared me.
DS will not tell us if he is wheezing, I can hear it. He becomes a little more short of breath, and then I ask him to take a deep breath and cough. If it is productive, then I know for sure. I am usually right.
I did not know that about cooling the airways. I was always told that we should take him outside on a cool moist night when he was little, and that it would help.
I will get the peak flow meter. I didn't realize that I could. Thank you!
