I think ds2 has asthma. He has had a number f mild wheezing attacks when he has found it mildly difficult to get his breath. Today, he had a similar attack when running round the garden and needed to sit down for a bit. I can't get him an appt right away with the GP (need to ring tomorrow!) and NHS direct online doesn't answer my query which is this:
Given I have no access to drugs at the moment, what is the best thing I can do for him if/when he has another attack. They are really very mild but cause him some anxiety and I don't want to exacerbate his condition. Is sitting him quietly the right thing to do? Should he try to breathe slowly? Does it help to breathe with him? Anything else I could try? Thanks.
