[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has asthma.  If I did not know it, I would be quite concerned about catching her cough but she has been like that for over a decade.  We can not know what is going on with other people.  Move away or put a mask on.  Those are the things you can control.[/quote]

Asthmatics don’t cough full time non-stop.   They have inhalers and other medicine that relieve coughs.

None of you could know it’s asthma just by hearing her cough.   [/quote]

As a parent of a kid with cough variant asthma, you don’t know what you are talking about.

Her parent may know that it is asthma and not contagious.  This point in the year when the weather is cold but not quite cold enough for the leaf mold to be killed is difficult for many kids.[/quote]

I do know asthma, about half of the females in my family have asthma.  My mother has always had asthma and what I remember mostly is the wheezing and the inhalers.   I’ve brought my two nieces to the ER many times with asthma attacks.  My other two nieces have asthma but it’s controlled.   Sadly my oldest niece died from an asthma attack.  She had been hospitalized for asthma and Covid. She was discharged and died at home from an asthma attack.

Asthmatic coughs are treated with medications specifically for these type of dry coughs.  There’s no reason a child should be suffering from a nonstop cough that is easily treated.  Other coughs are not as easily treated.  [/quote]
