  2. Yup. She said she wants to keep it under control so hopefully he doesn't become asthmatic when he's older. Supposed to be 3 months 'treatment', reduce and stop once he's stronger but the haze so easily caused a relapse dr said the 3 months cycle must restart.

    I read about growth retardation. Dr weighed it and said if it keeps coming back, he won't grow well either, and has to suffer.

    :( this is like the lesser of 2 evils.
