Parents please tell me what you think.. its about my 4 year old daughter!?
I've had allergies and asthma since age 7. She may need to go for allergy testing. Put all the stuffed animals away. Find a doctor that has a nurse practitioner. I find that an NP takes more time to get to know the patient and will give you more advice and options than a doctor will have time for. Getting her stable will be difficult since, at this point, you don't know what is triggering her attacks. Allergy testing is not a very pleasant experience but the information is very helpful. You might want to get a hypo-allergenic cover for her mattress and pillow if she uses one. The cough at night is from nasal drip. I always cough when my asthma acts up. It's non-productive until I get enough albuterol, then I can cough up some and start to feel better. Also if you have a pet - that's a big trigger for me. Hope this helps - Good luck.
