Symbacort symptoms and conditions

I HAD BEEN ONLY TAKING SYMBICORT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND MY FACE SWELLED UP LOOKING ALMOST LIKE A SUMU WRESTLER , OR A BLOW FISH. IT WAS AWFUL SEVERAL DAYS AFTER I QUIT TAKING IT I WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AS MUCH AS THIS MEDICINE COST THEY SHOULD OFFER A REIMBURSEMENT FOR SIDE -EFFECT NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $180 INHALER THAT I CANNOT USE. VERY UPSETTING.

I have a 10 year old daughter who took Singulair from age 3 until this past November. She has severe asthma/allergies. When she was 6 the night terrors started I informed the pediatrician of this, but they said she probably had sleep apnea. Her concentration level kept her in trouble in school. I never considered that it might be the Singulair. She developed a speech problem and the school speech teacher referred us to a speech pathologist because they thought she might have vocal fold dysfunction. Several specialists later, we wound up at an allergist's office who IMMEDIATELY took her off of Singulair stating that it was a dangerous drug and should have never been prescribed to her.

Her health has IMPROVED off of the singulair and we are doing allergy shots and symbacort with allegra. I wish I could have saved her the emotional roller coaster ride - all because of this drug.
