Thankyou all for your posts and answering my questions.

BR, we were thinking that teething could have had something to do with it as when she had croup each bout was followed by her first and second teeth, but it wasnt to be with the bronchiolitis, so we aren't sure if there is a connectin there or not, and I can't feel anymore teeth coming at all - DD has four two top and bottom centrally.

DD we are getting breaks from the wheezing with the ventolin and I have noticed that the coughing has reduced since we started the ventolin. I am not sure how much of an impact we are to expect from it, whether it is supposed to be instantaneously or not. We are noticing that when she is due for another does, that the coughing and the wheezing increases quite significantly.

How did you go yesterday, are they going to do a sleep study? I would be interested in see what happens 02 wise overnight with DD, to see what happens when she does have these coughing fits, she had a couple overnight, but we didn't administer the Ventolin as she did eventually recover by herself and it didn't wake her up completely, so wasn't hugely distressed.

I am hoping that it helps get rid fo this nasty sounding cough, every doctor that has heard it recently has gone, "oh that doesn't sound good" I think they have been expecting it to be somthing viral or bacterial but the look of suprise on their faces when they listen to her lungs has shown that it wasn't a typical infection, but none were forthcoming with trying to resolve it until this week.

Thankyou Divvy, how did DS2 cope with the steroids, DD has had them twice and she got extremely hungry and was quite clingy - but she also had Croup at the time so I am not sure whther the clingyness was just related to that or the steroids as well.

Each child is sooo different as well, it is not suprising that the Dr's all have different views on what may or may not be asthma. I have had exercise induced asthma, but havn't had problems with it for quite a while now, mostly as I tended to focus more on weight training than lots of running

We have noticed that when we are playing with DD, and she is moving a lot, laughing a lot, she starts to struggle with her breathing and her wheezing is becoming more pronounced, so I am wondering whether this is an indicator as well...

Thankyou all once again will keep you updated on how we go
