I wanted to suggest to all those that are looking for alternatives to singulair, that they try Web Md. I am the one who posted about my baby being on Singulair since he was 4 months old. At Web Md they have a color coding chart for asthma that has helped us greatly. We have a set plan of action when it starts to act up. We know what to give first, then second and so on. I have found that the old fashioned hot steamy bathroom can stop an asthmatic cough better that Albeuterol. We do the breathing treatment followed by about 10 minutes in the steamy bathroom. It has worked every time. My son is back to sleeping through the night again and has almost no congestion left. I always thought that the congestion was his Asthma. Who would of thought it was a medicine ment to help him. Other side effects he went through are- extreme irritability-temper tantrums- excessive shaking- chest congestion-extreme thirst- lack of appetite-diarrhea-stomach pains. That is what I know. He is only 2 now, so he can't tell me what I have put him through.
