Yes, i took her to the Dr. She had a bit of bronchitits-so he
has put her on advair 100/50, zrytec, singulair and albuterol
inhaler as needed. We are going to try and wean her off these
meds over the next few months and see how it goes. Meantime I
am keeping her out of the hot tub for the most part so I will
know if that had anything to do with it. I have seen a lot
about rashes and bromine but there are also quite a few cases
of bronchial irritations after too high levels of bromine in
hot tubs and quite a few articles on swimmers at indoor pools
having issues with bromine. I have a friend who's daughter
swims on a High School team and everytime they come inside and
swim indoors she gets similair symptoms and is put on
singulair and inhaler. Four girls on the team have gotten
inhalers as well since they have swam inside(bromine pool) We also had gotten her a new comforter when this all started
that had an awful smell when we first opened it. That has
also been tucked away till we can figure out if these had
anything to do with it. The timing may be just a coincidence
or maybe it is a sensitivity to chemicals. I have an appt. in
the end of May with allergist immunologist to try and help
figure out what is happening. Thanks
