By Cingular, do you mean Singulair? I used it for a while and, if I remember correctly, I found it drying. Ask your doctor if that is what is causing the cough.

light case of asthma can be treated by ventolin inhaler in aero chamber , I also have asthmatic kids
however you should consult doctor
because singular is a long acting drug

His doctor hasn't given him any type of inhaler. He also said to try to take him off of singular every once in a whale and see how he is doing with out it. and that is why he stated to cough again. when on singular he doesn't cough nearly as much. I just don't know how to help him breath easier when he is coughing so much, that is his wheeze.
