He’s having headaches, difficulty breathing, trouble sleeping, coughing at night. I have brought him to the doctor for this and he says its allergies and prescribed Zyrtec which didn’t support at all. What are the symptoms of asthma, especially in a kid?
Answer by essentiallysolo
if the doc listened to the boy’s lungs and did not hear any wheezing, he knows it really is not asthma. There are extremely distinct lung sounds in asthma so you can trust the doc if he mentioned it was allergies. What you could want to do is take him to an allergist and discover out what he is allergic to, simply because if he is continuously exposed to the allergen, no medication is going to do a lot excellent.

My nephew is 6 has asthma and my 2 year old, even though too young to diagnose, is on a nebulizer with asthma medicines. The symptoms my nephew show when he is having an attack or trouble, is a deep chesty cough, he complains of back pains, and has difficulty breathing. His face flushes as well. Now my son it was just an incessant cough given that birth. His pediatrician referred to as it almost everything from a cold(that lasted 9 mo) to allergies, to me becoming paranoid. I could hear or feel his troubles if I put my hand or ear to his back (correct or left side). If you know it’s not allergies than you want to be your child’s very best advocate and tell your physician that it’s not allergies, and if he does not believe you, ask for an allergen test. I switched pediatricians and she said his symptoms had been valid and gave me his meds to see if they relieved his cough and positive sufficient they did.
Great luck to you.
hope I helped!
