Recently diagnosed 3 year old with Asthma and Acid Reflux, any words of advice or good support places?

My 3 year old was diagnosed with Asthma and Acid Reflux about 2 months ago. She has also been on allergy meds since she was 1 year old. Is anyone else going through this and does anyone know of any type of ';financial assistance'; to help with the meds. We certainly do not qualify as low income but at $165.00 a month for her meds and when the meds dont work add another $50.00 onto that for an oral steriod to stop her from coughing it is hard to afford.Recently diagnosed 3 year old with Asthma and Acid Reflux, any words of advice or good support places?
The best non medication treatment for asthma and allergies is to know the allergic triggers and avoid them.


Keep her living area clean.


Wash her bedding in hot water on a regular basis.


Vacuum the carpet in her bed room several times per week.


Keep pets outside.


Wash her stuffed animals or put them in the freezer overnight once per week.





Ask her doctor about assistance programs that can help.





A good website is http://www.noattacks.org/





Good luck
