[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 113840, member: 3704"] easy child has "cough varient" asthma. When it gets going he coughs non-stop usually until he throws up. I had always thought that asthma involved wheezing and inability to breathe out. It can and does, but it can also involve coughing only. When easy child was 6 we went on a family hike. He started coughing that evening and it soon became apparent that he was in serious trouble, so we rushed him to the emergency room. He ended up staying for 3 days and was placed on oxygen and respiratory therapy treatments. His oxygen saturation was around 90% when he got to the ER - very dangerous.... We had no idea that his coughing was asthma. Fortunately our psychiatrist was very asthma savy and immediately got him into a preventative treatment program. She got the asthma under control - and he has had no attacks or hospitalizations for many, many years. [/QUOTE]
