If he is "really" hyper when on bronchiodialators- he may be getting too
much.  An accurate dosage for the current episode may cause some anxiety, but
usually just a small  elevation inthe amount of movement.  I have noticed
with my asthmatic son that any allergen exposures during the day of
treatments causes him to be FAR more active...this includes pollen  as well
as dairy--for him at least!

good luck---have you read Children with Asthma by Thomas Platt?  It covers
all kinds of allergies in the book...great resource..
