[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP- Similar "diagnosis" here when my son was 18 months and at 7 he no longer wheezes. Your son has reactive airways which is not uncommon at his age. If he doesn't grow out if it, the diagnosis will officially be asthma (i believe that they look for kids to outgrow it @ 5). My advice: 1. See a pediatric pulmonologist. Once the pedi started talking about daily inhaled steroids, I wanted a specialist 2. Get the attacks under control. With your action plan, your son will be less prone to attacks that end up in the er. 3. Figure out if there is an allergy component. Is it just colds that makes him react? For my son, it was only colds occurring during the spring allergy season. With allergy meds it kept him from having an asthmatic reaction once a cold started 4. As he gets older, fewer colds will mean fewer reactions, even if he is a full blown asthmatic 5. Don't be afraid to use the nebulizer early and often. [/quote]
