In Oct. we went on a cruise to Mexico.  When we got off the cruise ship my son was sick with asthma.  I took him to the doctor and the doctor said he had pneumonia and legionnaires disease.   The pneumonia come back once after he finished his round of antibiotics. He has been on three antibiotics and steroids since Oct.  Ever since he was diagnosed with pneumonia he has been having severe asthma.  It is like he can not stay well.  He is on a nebulizer machine and is taking a steroid inhaler.  Is there a specialist that he might need to see.  His asthma keeps flaring up.  He has missed three weeks of school.  He also says sometimes when he coughs it tastes like metal.  Thanks!
Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. Your child have hypersensitivity reaction. If possible search for exaggerating factors that lead to acute attack of asthma. Ex.some have allergy because of dust, some have certain food allergy. Just now according to history given your child should regularly take inhalation steroid by rota haler or MDI at the suitable dose. Take nebulizer to home .so whenever needed levosalbutamol nebulization can be given. While going to school cover nose with mask if possible. Chat Doctor. If having seasonal allergy then leukotriene antagonist
