Erik had a follow up appointment with the allergist today. He is currently doing well off of all medicines. The allergist/asthma doctor still thinks he has a cough-variant of asthma which currently seems to only be triggered by allergies and viral infections. He is currently comfortable letting Erik stay off of medicines in between flare ups. This means that the second he (or anyone else in the house) gets a cold we need to start his budesonide nebulizers and use them daily until healthy. He will restart the Singulair, Claritin, Budesonide regimen again next March assuming we make it through fall allergies okay again this year. We will see! If he has more frequent flare ups or the trigger becomes less predictable then he will need to use the nebulizer year round. I hope to avoid that.
I mentioned that Carson had a bad case of bronchiolitis this spring and the doctor said that does elevate his risk of developing asthma too as the bronchiolitis damages the lungs. Boo to that!
