DD suffered from excema and last october started to cough when she had a cold and was given salbutamol (DH had childhood excema and has asthma). GP said too young diagnose asthma. Salbutamol helped sometimes. Only used occasionally.
dd has just had nasty chicken pox and had flu like symptoms. now recovered (no temp, snotty nose) but coughing at night. cough medicine sometimes works, salbutamol sometimes works, last night rubbing vicks on chest worked. now confused about way forward.
should i treat as asthma and start giving preventor maybe? or continue with salbutamol, or just treat as a 'cough' with medicines?
