Emme's Asthma


Just last week Emme had her first ear infection and she has had colds since September and this chronic cough. Then one day I picked her up from school and she was wheezing, coughing and really pulling for air. I took her to the doctor and he said it is either asthma or bronchiolitis. He said he would give her a nebulizer treatment and if it cleared up it was most likely asthma. If it is bronchiolitis it will not clear up with the treatment. She was SOOO much better after the treatment so we will be treating it like asthma. I had the same thing when I was younger. My asthma only acted up when I had an ear infection or cold. Hopefully this will be the same. So Emme has become a pro at neb treatments.
