Medication Opinion

[Cat Herder]

I saw the tag, for anyone wondering this is not for asthma. DCG was outside a lot over the weekend and in an area where she inhaled a lot of gnats. The think this caused lung irritation to her and she is on this medication for a short course (without looking at the script, I believe it is 5 days.) I just don't want anything thinking I am denying an asthmatic medication

I added the tag because the oral albuterol is literally for an asthmatic response to an inhaled irritant. It is an acute form, not a chronic form. :hug: I changed it to oral albuterol.

Mom giving the med is the absolute best choice here. The doc did not write you an order. I don't believe anyone would ever believe you purposely did something to risk a childs health.

As far as paranoia, no worries. How many pink bottles of breastmilk does it take to ruin one's trust in parents, after all? :: We know you and we get it.

I sort of wish they did not take the dye out of meds! I dislike food coloring, and avoid it at all costs. For those reasons I am happy you can buy dye free meds. Buuuuuuuuut no dye makes them so much easier to hide ::

Thanks ladies lovethis I just did not want a stranger to go down a google rabbit hole and think I was denying a child meds.
