Cold or Allgery or Asthma?
Question:
- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’ve mentioned in another post that my daughter was taken to the ER weeks ago. She had a cold in the beginning with, then on one sunny mid-morning I took her to the park(which was stupid of me when I think of it now). She enjoyed walking on the grass and all, but when we got home, she started coughing severely but no wheezing. I called her doctor and was told to give her albuterol every other hour until she felt better. That didn’t work and by the time I’ve given her 4 treatments of albuterol, I afraid that her little heart would burst. So to the ER we went, strange thing is, her oxygen intake was normal when we got there and still no wheezing. They treated her with more albuterol and predinsone and Tylenol with coedine. And somehow it DID help her, her coughs was under control the next morning, I didn’t even need to give her more predinsone. So, my question is — what happened? Was it cold? Allergy? Or Asthma? — KCL
It sounds like cough-variant asthma, triggered maybe by grass or other pollen, mold, cold, virus, or a combination. You could have her allergies checked by a pediatric allergist. Also whether she has cough-variant asthma. Ellis
