Do they seem particularly wheezy today @nicolababe01? My DSis had Asthma from an early age and I can remember my DPs being worried when she was unwell. It must be awful for you Flowers

If you haven't already, I'd try her with a dose of Calpol to see if it is pain related.

My DD did start complaining of tummy ache at a similar age that went on for some time and it turned out to be anxiety. Do you think that she could be mithered about anything?

She has been coughing not weezzing I don't think she has anything to have anxiety about it's just horrible seeing her complaining and I can't do much about it :(

So my 4 year old also has inhalers daily. And it can make them prone to tonsillitis if they don't drink or brush teeth after them. This time last year he got tonsillitis and the only symptom was a bad tummy. Which afterwards I found out is actually a 'thing' at that age? So worth checking?
Hope they're OK xxx

That's a good point. My DS used to have tonsillitis and would often complain of a tummy ache first.

Is her tummy doing all the work, when my ds was poorly with his asthma and possibly heading to crisis his breathing would be all from the tummy region not the chest, hope that makes sense. My dc thankfully appears to have outgrown his asthma and it’s been several years since his last round if steroids.
Do they also have a blue inhaler?
