Hi, i have a 3 and a half year old little girl, iv taken her to the doctors 2 days ago and they have given me an asthma inhaler for her, as iv said on a different post before she has been relatively ill since christmas, runny nose, cough and cold symptoms. She also lost alot of weight but that seems to be ok now and at a steady level. She seems to mainly be very wheezy at night. I have recently discovered mould growing in her bedroom (around the window) due to condensation (according to landlord) and on the back of her wardrobe. i have done some research into this and found it can be a trigger of asthma.Im wondering if this could have contributed to the asthma. Im doing all i can to get rid of it and she is currently sleeping in my room. Does anybody have any experience with a child with asthma and problems maybe caused by the mould. Can it also be triggered by big changes in the temperature (e.g warm and cold rooms) Any help would be appreciated as the doctor didnt do too well explaining it to me, all that i have learnt is off of the web and am unsure what is reliable
