Hi! I'm a Melbourne Paramedic, and I feel for you. This happens to lots of little kiddies in winter, and we can help out a lot with oxygen and drugs before we get them to the hospital. I'm sure he is ok now, at least I hope he is, and that there isn't a reoccurance.

My wife has bad asthma. She had a cold about a month ago, bit of a chest infection. A friend came over to pick up something, and just from opening the front door and getting a blast of cold air, triggered a very bad attack. I was working, and happened to be in the area, and went to her. She was pretty bad, one of the worst I've seen for her. The other guys that were there thought it was pretty severe too, so it's not something to play around with.

Hope all is good now! Remember, 000 is a lifesaver!
