Steriods

[momof3inTN]

I know that oral steriods can help some kids so I'm wondering if inhaled steriods (QVAR) would work also. When my dd's asthma is really bad we do a 5 day course of oral and switch to QVAR after that. Right now I'm having a hard time finding a doc to help me so I'm wondering if I start giving the QVAR if it will have the same effect as an oral steriod on her PANDAS.

 

Anyone have any thought?

 

Thanks

Inhaled steroids do not help my daughter's PANDAS. It just gives her a bloody nose.

QVAR comes in an inhaler and breathed in, not shot up the nose. If that makes any difference.
