kids inhalers??

[naflharrison]

does anyone reckon that i could use my daughters inhaler to open my chest up a bit? got a stinking cold and chest is aching, my little one has an inhaler shes not asmatic(not spelt right i know!) but when she gets sick her chest closes up a bit. so what you reckon would it be safe enough for me?

well im sure you know that you should never use medicine thats not prescribed for you.

but when i was about 10 i had an alergic reaction to my aunts dogs and couldnt breathe very well, she used her ventolin inhaler on me and it did work. It was 3 years before i was diagnosed with asthma though

Im certainly not recommending you do it though

Don't think that is a good idea, just boiul some water and put a few drops of olbas oil in it and breath it in under a towel, you'll be fine, and safer

yeah i know dont really want to actually but just trying to think of anything that will help!! everytime i cough my back feels like its pushing my lungs through my chest, agony feels like my wind pipe is on fire.

the inhaler is only going to help if the airways have closed up, it wont help clear an infection or any gunk that may be in there

that could actuallt be pleurosy if you have a pain in your back, do you smoke?

[naflharrison]

yeah not alot but i do, i do get this type of pain wheni have a cold, its more in my shoulder blade and i just feel heavy, not worrying majorly but hate having a cold, would rather be vomiting silly than have a cold

Certainly is worth a try and can't do any harm.
