Could this turn into ASTHMA?

[junkinmytrunk]

I apologise if this is a really silly question but dd1 is quite unwell atm.

She's had a little cough for a few days now and I was just giving her buttercuo cough syrup. Yesterday it got a lot worse tho and her chest was vey tight and wheezy, and gradually got worse through the day.
Took her to gp's last night and I ended up with a carrier bag of medication for her.

gp said that sshess got a very, very bad chest and to keep her in, out of the cold for at least a week.

She's now on amoxycillan antibiotics, prednisolone tabs, orcirenaline syrup and a salbutamol inhaler, which is nightmare to get an unwell 4yr old to use when sshe never seen one before.

I know they are used for asthma treatment and am worried that this will leave her with a weakness that cold turn into asthma.

She is so weak that I had carry from the car into the gp's, which was less than 100m.

Can anyone give me some reassurance pls?

Oh poor love, she sounds so poorly.
DD1 had an inhaler prescribed once when she was wheezing terribly and we were due to fly to Spain the next day - it did the job and she hasn't used it since. Was about 2 years ago.
Don't worry about the future just concentrate on getting better - I would recommend Minadex tonic too to build her up again - you can put it in juice.

this seems to have happened to a lot of children this xmas time.

If she's not shown signs of wheezing before, I think it's likely it's just going to be a viral wheeze. And you now have the right medication to get her through that.

Well shes had to have her inhaler twice this morning already.

Her chest is so tight sometimes she can't get her words out.
But she's happily lying on sofa with her duvet watching a dvd. Spent all yesterday on there as well.

I hope she starts improving soon

aww. Hope she gets better. These chesty things can linger on.

My dd1 gets the same problem after each virus / bad cold.
