Advice for 4yr old

1 Reply

Hi,

My four year old has been coughing for days now but when I took him to docs she said his airways are clear and his oxygen levels are fine. Today it seems worse as he has coughed for about 3 hours I have given all meds and still no change, how do I know whether this is asthma or something else. He is quite tired but seems happy enough. I feel this is such a guessing game.

Thanks for any advise

Hi,

I totally agree about the guessing game!! I was saying as much to my hubby last night. Blake (my Son) had a cold which has left him coughing and wheezey, I never know When to go to the doctors with him as they alsways seem to say the same that his chest is clear.

I hope your Son has some releif soon

Sorry not much help.
