Dr. Matthew M.'s Whiteboard

Sep 10 2009 by Alba

My 2 yr. grandson has been prescribed asthma pump for six months, since if he is taken off it, he gets sick and develops bronchiolitis. I am concerned about the continuous use of this medication for such prolongued and recurrent time spans. What could happen? Can he become dependent on it? Thanks for your help.
