It depends on a number of factors. Age, when, where, and why. Most likely you need to find a physician who will be able to help with daily medications that will work on inflammation.

Both medicines should be used even after they seem well, because it can come back. These medications are called maintenance medications. For quick response you will need albuterol inhaler or by nebulizer, maybe
both. The other medication your child may need is an oral steroid.

The reason for vaccines so frequently is that we want to make sure that your baby is completely covered. A newborn may have a tiny bit of your immunity, but not much. Your doctor wants to make sure that they develop their own because yours will soon be gone...
