Dd1 is on a preventer inhaler twice a day, quite a low dose, since she was hospitalised last year with a 'probable' asthma attack (probable because she's only 3 so they can't formally diagnose yet). Her trigger seems to be having a cold, and especially bad at this time of year like so many others. Before the hospitalisation, we had a couple of other a&e trips, and she spend most of last winter coughing (she seems to cough and then when it gets really out of control, on z downwards wheezy path, ie a cough is her main symptom).
She's got a cold now, and has been coughing most of the day. She's meant to be napping and I can just hear her coughing on and off. I've given her 6x blue puffs this morning, but it's not made any difference to her cough. So I'm guessing that she's actually got a cough, rather than it being asthmatic. But how do I tell? Can u tell?!
