My grandson is nearly 10yrs old - he had asthma from about 13mths - his mother had it as did her dad so my grandson inherited it - however over the years we had his asthma under control at the beginning of 2006 he was only on one puff of flexitide a day and didn't need ventolin - however this year my daughter went to the specialist and he said to try SINGULAIR - I did not want her to give it to him as a pharmacist told me his daughter was on it and she got worse - but my daughter gave it to him - at first he was good and did not even need his one puff of preventer per day - however as time has gone on he has developed worse asthma than he had ever before - he has been on Singulair about 7mths (thank god no more) he also has been having trouble sleeping at night (didn't know till I read the web this is one of the side effects) he also got stomach upsets with a very white coated tongue - also tonsilitis back hasn't had that for 2yrs - he also started getting angry and playing up at school - which he has always been a wonderful child (I can only thank GOD that I went on line and was guided to this site ( thank you all for your information) keep up the good work and tell everyone that SINGULAIR IS POISON especially to children p.s. He hasn't had any for the last 4 days and now his asthma is getting worse (however we can only wait and pray that he recovers from this nightmare and doesn't get any other side effects as the time goes on).
