    Another thing is (just so other parents know) that Asthma becomes apparent in most children around the age of 4 and sometimes it's only seen as a cough that won't go away until they have their first attack, so it's always good to check for that too. It's how both mine became diagnosed, with DD though she had a full blown attack and ended up in hospital. With DS we knew what to look for and luckily have been able to manage his attacks at home.
    Very true. This son of mine also gets quite wheezy during winter and is our croup-child! However this time he wasn't croupy or wheezy just a throat infection....which I can feel starting in my throat too this arvo. *sigh* croup scares the crappola outta me, spesh having called an ambulance last winter for him when he collapsed.


    Winter eh?
