My son is 2 1/2. Since he was able to walk I was sure he had asthma. Although he never had any weezing, any time he was in active play he would cough. The doctor has prescribed him an albuteral inhaler, a nebulizer, and a qvar inhaler. None of those seem to make much of a differnce. Mostly because by the time I get the emergency inhaler to him, he's already done coughing. Even using the other inhalers, he still coughs everytime he runs. In December of 10' my family came down with a cold. Still to this day, my son has the same cough that came with that cold. I know that sometimes coughs can take a long time to get rid of, so I waited to take him to the doctor until last week. The doctor was unable to hear any weezy and found no fever, so she did nothing. Just yesterday things began to get terribly worse. His coughing went from every hour to 3-4 times a minute at times. I'm getting really worried and I am wondering if this the asthma, the cold, or both put together. My doctor still does not seem to concerned. He does have an appointment tomorrow but I have a feeling that I will walk away again with no answers. If anyone can give me some insight into what is really going on with my son you would truly be an angel!
