Thanks for any help. |
Either the allergist or the pulmonologist is a good idea. Both of them specialize in asthma. If your son's asthma is mainly allergy-induced, then the allergist would be the best idea. On the other hand, if he doesn't have many allergies, then see a pulmonologist.
I see both an allergist and a pulmonologist. I have many allergies that the allergist looks after, and I have airway remodeling from having severe asthma -- the pulmonologist takes care of that.
My pediatrician asks that I not come in for anything lung related. I don't know why, but he does. I only see him like once or twice a year for physicals.
