Reactive Airway Disease

What is it you ask. Well, my opinion is its what you call it when a little boy comes in wheezing and coughing and you don't have anything better to call it. You rule out pneumonia with an x-ray, rule bronchlitis by listening, decide its not asthma so of course it reactive airway disease. I was at the doctor this morning with Caleb for two hours to find this out. How do you treat it? With oral steroids and albuteral of course. I know I shouldn't sound so jaded about the medical field since I am a nurse, but sometimes I wish a doctor would just say I don't know whats wrong. That would be the day. I hope the steroids don't effect him the same way they did last time. He was such a fussy butt. Here he is for a cute profile shot. Well as best a I could do with a curious baby. By the way with no medicine he has been a joy just wheezing and occasional cough.
