My three year old has been admitted 3 times in the past 2 years for Asthma with pnumonia, I have been told that this is just something that can happen with Asthma. Her Asthma has only been triggered by colds so far. Are there other thing that she should be checked for, why does it keep turning into pnumonia.
It starts like a cold with a runny nose and within hours it can turn. Thanks

Dear Karen,
Your question is very sensible - you want to understand the pattern that has developed with your daughter. However, this Forum is really not intended to address physical illness - it's focus is on child behavior.
Please ask your daughter's pediatrician to describe the connection between the asthma and pneumonia.
