EosinophilIic asthma -pediatric

2018-03-11 16:28:53
My young son has had severe asthma symptoms for 4 years. Daily treatments include ventolin aND pulmicort via a nebulizer. Dexamethazone if he is struggling to breathe aND clonidine (.25mg) when he has bronchial spasms. He also almost always spikes a very high fever. 104 - 105. He sees his pediatrician very often and it's always the same thing. Just maintain. He also had pneumonia a month ago. Wondering g about eosinophil asthma. And what can be done.
