DS1 (7yo) has asthma. In the winter he really struggles with it. We end up having countless trips to the doctors for steroids and antibiotics and at least once a year he ends up in hospital via ambulance with an asthma attack.
Last night he was up all night coughing and wheezing. I'm keeping him off school today and taking him to the doctors.
How can I help him to not suffer like this in the first place? I don't have any pets, I try and keep the house warm as much as I can afford. I keep him wrapped up when we go out. Yet he still suffers terribly with it :(
I don't know what else I can do. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
