Some advice please for my seven year old son.

[greekgodess]

My seven year old boy had chesty problems from age one.Was noticed more when he was asleep that he sounded realy chesty.Doctor kept palming us off saying it was just viral but as we were not satisfied we took him to a&e where at the hospitial they gave him inhalers (brown and blue) when he was about 3 yrs old.When age 4 yrs he was rushed to emergency doctors whilst on holiday with a chest infection and was very pooly. Now age seven he sometimes complains of headaches and quite frequently has nosebleeds,mosstly when hes asleep.He wakes up very distraught coverd in blood with blood stained sheets and cloths ect.The bleeds take a while to stop and are very heavy,on 1 occasion there was blood splatered all over the wall at side of his bed n he was covered.It seems 2 just pour not like a slow trickle.He has always been chesty over the yrs and can quite easily get colds. Im worried that all this may perhaps be conected over his six/seven little years???...

They say dry mucous membranes can cause nose bleeds so possibly a humidifier would help him, also try a saline nose spray before bed ., try an allergy free pillow ,some find that helps .The chesty cough may be asthma related so ask you doctor about that possibility.Hope you get some relief for him soon..good luck
