Avatar m tn i hope this message reaches other parents with children on singulair. not all children have side effects but if your does, it may be difficult to realize it is the drug.
460830 tn?1347219306 What was the problem with Singulair a while back? I heard something about it, but I never heard what the problem was with it.
Avatar f tn The biggest hurdle that we face is that when you are over weight, everything that is wrong with you is because you are fat. I have dealt with this issue all of my life. That is unacceptable to me and we will move on to the next doctor.If being fat is the cause of every illness why do skinny people get sick? That sounds absolutely ridiculous. Most of the time, doctors will get an idea about what is going on and refuses to entertain any other possibilities. Send you to see a psychiatrist?
Avatar n tn My 3 year old granddaughter has gone from a active tiny girl to an overweight, sluggish, sleepy girl within the past 6 months. It started with weight gain, she has a very big belly. Lately she has been sleeping much more and doesn't want to do any type of 'physical' play. Only coloring and reading. My daughter took her to the dr. and her blood test showed increased levels of carbon dioxide. She is going back in for more tests next week but she is just not the same.
920032 tn?1550680156 lately my overnight breathing is causing me problems. i asked my gp for singulair but she prescribed atrovent. it does get mucus up but i am waking to cough it up. i have excersize induced asthma. it was on this site that i heard about singulair.
Avatar f tn If she is 16kgs, then her weight is on the 25th percentile for her age and she is normal. Some children are smaller then others in the same family. Thank you for your question.
1154802 tn?1266485720 Prednisone I believe, should be only temporary. There are lots of side effects of taking it, like weight gain, and years of taking it will also weaken your bones badly. I do not think alot of doctors keep patients on this-your steroid inhaler and maybe using Singulair should help.. I would ask about Singulair. You also need to see an actual asthma doctor (pulmonary doctor) if you're not already.

Avatar m tn I'm 52 years old and have been dealing with periods of rapid weight gain (anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks) for nearly 4 years. My worst are 16 pounds in 3.5 days and 12 pounds in 2 days. Stress probably is a factor, although cortisol tests have been coming back normal. I'm spending thousands of dollars and so much time with doctors and tests; finding a doctor with an open mind and didn't believe that I was "cheating on the side" took a lot of time and money.
1980489 tn?1326255851 Hi all. This is just to get some information. What are symptoms of Cushing's in children? I've read lots of articles that stress the over-weight (especially in the midsection), and the round face and hump on the back of the neck, the stretch marks, and muscle fatigue. I guess I'm wondering if all of the symptoms noticed in adulthood are the same as those in children. And what exactly does "muscle fatigue" mean?
Avatar n tn if your child is taking singulair, it might be worth a trip to the website www.medications.com. there are many stories of families whose children suffered many behavior problems from taking this medication. i hope this helps you.
Avatar f tn Nothing some people don't gain weight until later, or they lose weight your are perfectly fine hun.
Avatar n tn my baby is 13 months and she is not holding her bottle ,she is not sitting on her own, and she is not standing or walking and her left eye's black is closer to corner than the other one, she eat well but she doesn't gain weight enough she has been on the 3 percent curve from day one till now.
Avatar f tn But the bottom line is, there are just not getting enough calories in to gain any weight! Its so frustrating and to be honest I feel like my kids are sickly looking because they are so skinny. Any suggestions??
Avatar f tn I thought I would be in trouble with the weight gain. I am 36 weeks pregnant and way the same as my pre pregnancy weight and am not overweight at all. But, since I had a few ultrasounds done and I measured out perfectly. Doctors say baby and I are healthy..just dont lose weight..
Avatar f tn My daughter had the same problem but Vyvanse was the best choice after trying several other meds. When she couldn't gain weight I took her to several specialist trying to find help and finally her primary care pediatrician had the answer right away!!! She put her on Periactin which is an antihistamine...it's side effect is to make them hungry and gain weight!!! Plus it helps with her allergies and asthma!! She is maintaining and has grown over the summer... so far so good...
Avatar f tn she wants me to gain weight. I am eating tons of protien and carbs.... (healthy ones) Ok not just healthy carbs, I eat the bad ones too. Any sugggestions on how to gain weight??
Avatar f tn its normal your not going to gain lots of weight its just the baby its normal im 26 weeks and i have only gain 10 lb its normal im not skinny but the only thing make sure your eating healthy dont worry about the weight you can only gain from 10 -20 pounds
Avatar f tn That could be the cause of the excessive weight gain. Has your doctor brought up your weight at all?
Avatar m tn As, Singulair (montelukast) is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children. Singulair 10mg tablets contain the active ingredient montelukast, which is a type of medicine known as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. You may need regular inhaled corticosteroids and short-acting beta agonist such as salbutamol, to relieve your symptoms. Nebulization may help. Sometimes, steroids may be needed to control the symptoms.
6995163 tn?1387869618 s gonna be a big boy but I still feel pretty good with weight gain my first a girl I gained 60lbs.
Avatar f tn PLEASE HELP Let me add that she is NOT in tears because the Singulair has made her depressed, we heard all about that in the news. She is in tears because of the agony she's in because of how BAD her arms and legs feel all the time!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter is on Singulair and just finished a short course of Prednisone. On her 4th day [last day] of Prednisone, her legs and arms started to feel very weak and heavy and numb[she said they felt "thick"].
