Our DD has been wheezing all day and have generally been unwell with a temperature. Her wheezing tonight in bed has been bad and she can't really talk in sentences, she is coughing alot and her breathing is shallow and quick. I have read a bit on the internet and i think she may have a viral wheeze. She is prone to asthma, we've been told be her allergy doc, because she has a couple of food allergies and mild eczema.
I hate hearing her breathing like this, but don't know if it's actually normal. She has a ventolin inhaler already and it helps for about 5 mins then the wheezing returns. Anyone with a similar experience? (I am probably worrying too much because my DH's brother died from an asthma attack 4 years ago, and I'm petrified that if I leave my DH, she may develop a full blown attack).
