Kids, Asthma, bees, asprin?

My wife and I have 2 kids...one from both of us..the other from her previous relationship
My wife is highly allergic to bees...what is the chances that our kids could be allergic?
Also...What are the chances that my son having asthma and being allergic to asprin(I have asthma and am allergic to aspring and can only take tylenol )?
My son does a lot of weezing..and I dont know if I should worry about that?
Answer:
well, they say that the children can and may not have the asthma, im an asthmatic and my daughters dr didnt want to test her for asthma either so i took her to my astthma dr, pulmanologist and her checked and nobout she has it. sometimes you just have to step aside of the ped and find qnother dr. the risk is bout 50 50 for the kids having allergies and asthma...my daughter has the asthma but she does not have the allergies but i have both...pretty bad allergies and serve to chronic asthma, i suggest you get a second opinion.
If you're worried about the bee allergy, go to the allergist and have them tested. I had asthma as a young child and it came back right after I had taken some pain pills for a urinary tract infection as an adult(aspirin was the ingredient). Dr.'s do not recommend giving aspirin to children until they're around 14 or 15 because of the risk of Reye's Syndrome when they use it. And if your child is wheezing, you need to get him to an ER...You have asthma and it sounds odd to me that you don't recognize that he could be suffering ...If he's wheezing, it's an emergency if you're not treating it!!!Re: extra info you provided. Get another Dr. if he's not listening. If you have insurance and he starts wheezing, take him to the ER, please instead of his dr. If he's actually seen while he's wheezing a diagnosis can be made at least while he's having difficulty. It may be your Dr. hasn't seen the symptoms and therefore he's reluctant to diagnose. Some Dr.'s simply don't listen and you have to keep insisting there's something wrong or find another dr. Best wishes!
Try antioxidant supplements such as OPC-3.People might question "Can antioxidants help asthma?" According to Jack Challem in his article, Natural Health, the evidence is promising. Supplemental vitamin C (2 g daily) and large doses of beta carotene (64 mg daily) eased exercise-induced asthma in some people, according to recent Israeli studies. The theory is that high levels of free radicals are found in people with asthma, and free radicals promote an inflammatory reaction, which closes breathing passages. (Talk to your doctor before taking this high dose of beta carotene.) Antioxidants may also increase resistance to lung damage by air pollution. In a study of street workers in Mexico City, one of the world's most polluted cities, daily supplements of vitamin E (75 IU), vitamin C (650 mg), and beta carotene (15 mg) improved lung function, according to a 1998 study in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.OPC-3 are powerful antioxidants. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E. Scientists believe that antioxidants make a difference in boosting the immune system, mitigating the allergic reaction, reducing the production of histamine, and supporting a health inflammatory response in the body. None of the antioxidants are intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, but they help to boost our immune system. Overall, our body is the greatest gift from God to defend all the diseases! Note: Since OPC-3 contains grape seed extract, red wine extract, pine bark extract, bilberry extract, and citrus extract, please consult with your doctor to make sure they don't create any allergy reaction to your family members.
