Yesterday Ds 2 Isaac (6 yrs) woke with a snotty nose (just like Ds3 and DD) I didn't think anything of it. by lunch time however he had a very wheezy chest. Anyways fast forward. I rang Dh at 4:00 to come home from work as I was very concerned about Isaac's breathing. it was like he was having sme sort of Asthma thing. I am an asthmatic and can see the symptoms. Isaac has never had a chest infection. So dh took Isaac to the hosp just after 5. They took him straight out the back. He had 3 breathing treatments (ventolin thru nebliser) they gave him a 4th one before he left but this one was through the puffer.

He has come home on ventolin 3 times a day (more if required) and prednisone. Dr think it was a virus which was causing his airways to constrict. He said he didn't want to say it was asthma (yay a Dr who doesn't just diagnose for the sake of it) as it was a one off event.

has anyone elses child been fine then go to that? It really was out of the blue.

Wht do you think we should do now? I was thinking a follow up visit tomorrow with our GP and go from there. The hosp Dr wants him on the puffer and prednisone for a few days
