Can a child develop asmtha after the age of 5?
DD's started with what us and others think could be asmtha but we have had telephone consultations after ringing doctors for weeks each time to actually get through.
Each time we have been told most children have asmtha by 5 and therefore it's strange to develop it "out of the blue" and to just continue to monitor it.
A work colleague told me last week that her husband developed it in his 20's so now I'm really confused!!

I’m not clued up on asthma but I do know you can get allergic asthma. Does she have any allergies or been tested?

Hi, yes hayfever.
It's not breathlessness doing everyday things; only when doing certain types of exercise.
Only able to have phone consultations at the moment and been told to monitor it and call back if gets worse!
