DS, nearly 5, started Reception in mid-Sept. He had viral wheeze as a toddler but then seemingly moved onto allergic wheeziness in spring summer. It's all been well-controlled, but he's had a few episodes of evening wheeziness recently, all related to colds. GP has talked me through getting the best out of preventers and inhalers and increased the preventer dose. It's all really minor stuff, but I was talking to his teacher the other day and she said this will be the time of year when the new arrivals to Reception (rather than the group who 'did' nursery together at the school) will begin to succumb to things. It occurred to me this could be a reason for DS seeming a little less resilient at the moment. He was at another nursery and only had two days off in the last 2 years. Certainly don't want to be back in that place where you dread every cold - but if it's just a phase to be managed, then I feel more optimistic.
Wondered from your experience if there's any basis for my half-baked theory
