My 2 1/2 year old daughter spent thursday morning in the hospital with a rectal temp of 104.9 they diagnoised her with croup and reactive airway disease aka asthma. I am looking for someone that has been in this same boat. She takes xopenex .31 3 times a day. Just wondering how to cope with it

I'm sorry to hear that your daughter was diagnosed with asthma.

The best thing you can do is read up on information regarding asthma and allergies. Learning what triggers asthma can help prevent any serious attacks.

You can find a lot of good information at the American Lung Association .

You should also check out Asthma Society of Canada's website asthma.ca - there is a lot of information there, as well as ways to control asthma. It is managable.

My daughter has had asthma since she was 6 months old. They thought hse had RSV. Turned out to be asthma, we have a fanastic asthma specialist for her right now. We have since moved from out of our hometown and to a city that is very well known for asthma specialist. If you ever want to talk just PM me. I know how scary it can be. We are currently in that boat right now.

Looking for information and support as well.
