Moms or dads....at what age were your kids put on any kind of breathing treatments? My son is almost 7 months and is only on enzymes, salt, vitamins, antiacids, and cpt twice a day for 15 mins. Is there anything else he should be on? I want to be proactive in his treatments but dont know if there is anything else we should be doing at this point. He does get colds more than my other 2 kids got when they were little. He has been put on 3 different antibiotics 3 seperate times for cough/colds that lasted more than 7 days each. He just got done with his 3rd antibiotics last week. Thanks for any advice.

Oh I thought I would also add he has not grown any bacteria in his lungs. We just had a bronch done earlier this month and it came back clear.

Good question, I'm also interested in the answer. My daughter is nine months and she's on enzymes, salt, vitamins, and zantac, as well as chest pt twice a day for 10 minutes. She also has not cultured any bacterias yet. She hasn't yet had any colds or antibiotics.

My son was diagnosed at 8 days old and started breathing treatments of Xopenex followed by CPT right away. So we started from birth even though he had no symptoms lung-wise. Prevention is key to this illness as well as routine. I thank God we started early because doing breathing treatments has never been a problem because he was so used to it. I would ask your doctor about this. it certainly doesn't hurt and it helps as mucus starts collecting early on.
