My DS has just gotten over Tonsilitis and ear infections ..and last week had a dose of steriods because they suspected he had croup. He was having difficulty breathing when he coughed so they gave him steriods to open his air ways abit. They told me it would work for 3 or 4days,and on the 5th day his cough came back worse.
We have been at Hosp twice, and the GP's about 3 times over the last few weeks because of what hes had and each time his chest is clear.
He still has this phlegmy cough, and if i put my hand on his chest / back I can feel the wheeze as he breathes in and out. As soon as he coughs ..it clears for a short while ..then he'll start wheezing again. His runny/blocked nose has cleared up completely now so im a bit confused as to where all this phlegm is sitting / coming from if his chest sounds clear to them???
Alot of my family members have asthma as do my neices and nephews so I'm paranoid that he has asthma.
What do you think???
