question: Hello,my 11 year old son has been coughing for years and years.He has been precribed Ventolin Inhalers - Light brown preventitive plus the blue one.I can see - and my son feels that the inhalers seem to actually CAUSE the cough. They defintely aggravate his chest. Doctors INSIST he has asthma even though he does not wheeze or become short of breath. He used to get a chest infection 2 or 3 times a year and Doctors ALWAYS said it was asthma but eventually they would give him anti-biotics and it would clear up. After suffering needlessly for a long time and not being listened to - only to be told its asthma - he must take his inhaler - he ended up being admitted with suspected Menengitis and was given the maximum dose they dare to give him (this is what we were told by the Paediatrician).This is relentless and we are getting knowwhere.He hasnt had any x-rays for years or been sent to a specialist. What do you suggest please?Thank you Alena
