Kevin’s doctor prescribed an inhaled steroid
for him to use everyday to treat his asthma. But I don’t know — I’m kind of worried because of how harmful steroids can be. Well what do you mean? A lot of parents have concerns about side
effects from steroids. Steroids are present inside all of our bodies
but when we use them as a medicine they can help treat inflammation and swelling. which is a big part of asthma Steroids come in many forms, as well as many
different doses. When steroids are given by mouth, or through
a shot, the dose is a lot higher than what we use when given through an inhaler. An important thing to remember is that the
steroids we use as medicine to treat asthma are not the same as anabolic steroids which
are used by weightlifters and athletes to make their muscles big and strong. Your child will not develop big muscles by
using their inhaler or any other side effects associated with anabolic steroids. There is a common side effect that can occur
with using inhaled steroids however. This is called Thrush. Thrush is a white coating that can occur inside
the mouth or on the tongue. It is very easy to treat if it does occur,
however it is also very easy to prevent. Just make sure that your child brushes their
teeth and tongue after they use their inhaler or rinses their mouth. This should be done every single time they
use their steroid inhaler to help prevent Thrush from occuring. Oh, I didn’t know that steroids were different
from one another. But I’m still kind of worried that Kevin
might become addicted to his medication — is that true? Absolutely not. Inhaled steroids will not lead to addiction
or dependance. If your doctor recommends that your child use
an inhaled steroid, that means their asthma is not under good control and that we can
do a lot better. Remember, inhaled steroids won’t work right
away, and you won’t notice that they are working. However, if you use them consistently, then
over time your child’s asthma will be under much better control. This means that they will miss less school,
cough less, and sleep better throughout the night. Great — thanks! I’ll make sure Kevin gets his medicine just
as our doctor instructed.

Thank you for a great video. I was really confused on what type of steriods would be better for asthma. This video is really helpful. I am also one of the asthma victim. I was searching something like this and I usually search on asthma and try to read how much dangerous asthma could be. I have one amazing case on asthma and you too can read it out. All you need to do is search on google "renkarter amazing asthma report". Thank you.
Our daughter took two 5ml oral doses of prednisolone (a steroid used to treat inflammation caused by an allergic reaction to an antibiotic) and she was super irritable, cried all of the time, didn't sleep and had "episodes" of screaming and flailing around on the floor like she could not control herself. I stopped the steroids immediately and she slowly returned to her sweet nature. I would advise parents to be super cautious with steroids. Some might be good, but our experience was HORRIBLE.
THANKS A LOT MEDICAL MAFIA BUT I DONT WANNA BE DEPENDENT ON UR ADVAIR DRUGS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I WILL HEAL THRU NUTRITION INSTEAD. IRISH SEA MOSS SHOULD BE USE TO REPLACE UR CHILD'S INHALER. LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE.
I use Dulera here and there but I still have dry coughs and sometimes lung pain associated with dry coughs that bring up sputum. The sputum is usually clear but sometimes has bright red small streaks of blood and now it is concerning. Could the blood be from the intensity of the cough? I had my lungs listened to and the doctor says they are fine but the pain is a mystery. Does anyone have this too?
correct.they are not natural.there are always sides effects.
your lieing
people have died from the use of inhalers
Here is a lovely steroid side effect earache !!!!
Ive had thrush twice this year through it
He is just reading.
what is the different between furoate and propionate?
Funny how most people listen to the rest of the sheep…
Asthma doesnt require anabolic roids …
The medicines only try to benefit from speed or natural occuring stimulants in plants ,
Thats it ,, upper ,a natural occuring stimulant like ephedra plant.
Ect …..
Thanks to the doctor for explaining the truth ….
Remember asthma uses upper properties ,, to open narrow passages in the lungs …Not androgens to grow big muscles ….
they do not work for me via inhalers
I got rid of my asthma by pressing on the face between my nose and the upper lip. This relaxes the chest airways by acupressure (GV26) as a scientific effect (reflex loop). Then I trained to breathe in through the nose to get the same effct. Low and behold, the beastly asthma was gone. I sleep with my mouth shut.
Ok so what are the side effects
This article have a real information http://www.healthcaremom.com/side-effects-of-steroids/
Asthma inhalers give u things like GERD which makes you asthma worse long term, then u can go on a PPI drug.
I’ve used an inhaler since 7 years old up until 16. The steroid caused me to start my period at 9 years old. I started getting bad acne at 12. It caused my depression and anxiety that has gotten worse and worse since I’ve gotten older. It made me gain weight, especially in my face and stomach and didn’t help me when I was exercising. It did nothing to help my asthma or breathing in my opinion. My teeth are brittle and my hair falls out. I have a pretty bad hormonal imbalance. If you are thinking about putting your kid on an inhaled steroid, PLEASE think twice. I can’t believe my parents agreed to this treatment plan when I look back. I would’ve been much better off without any treatment at all. I really hope I can reverse all of my side effects caused by years of medicating with this type of treatment.
After surgery, I was put on steroids, , I gained 60 plus pounds, Developed High Blood pressure, cataracts was pre-diabetic and now have Asthma. Do not Take
Your right they won’t gain muscles with certain steroids, some like steroids such as prednisone will make you lose your muscles and gain weight
I use colonial silver into in Hayler for anything lung Related I’m sorry I don’t do pharmaceuticals
That is very good to hear… I have been an asthama patient since childhood and suffer severely in winter due to weather change, cough and need more doses of inhaler. Thanks Doc
Steroid phsychosis in many with no recovery lots of info on utube
Mom says, steroids r not good for ur health, but it's making my arms big.
Damn ass doctor !
Some Side effects inclube atrophy of the muscles, failure of your adrenal glands (that btw procude a natural “steroid” called cortisol), insomnia, stunted growth, and that's all I remember off the top, but reliance on synthetic medicine will a lot of times do more bad than good, in a pinch I think a taper is ok, but never discount the amazing benefits of natural unprocessed foods and an active lifestyle. Drugs are band aids that gives you temporary relief but do not fix the underlying issue. Your body can heal itself for the most part if you feed and treat it right.
….Umm ya tons of side effects…Steroids can definitely be harmful. I've been a singer for years and have had decades of issues losing my voice… doing some further research this time I was put on steroids I realized my voice started to change immediately and no not from thrush. Never have I been told by any of my doctors losing or PERMANENTLY DAMAGING MY VOCAL CHORDS could be a side effect. Always read the small print people. Docs office tomorrow morning to figure this one out to see if there are any alternatives for me as a vocalist.
can't trust any doctor'. side effect = damage look at people in agany all over. side effects damage ostioperos- cushings/lupus adrenal /immune go on and on oh DNA poison
