Has your doctor mentioned asthma? patriot_4229 05-26-2003, 07:19 AM no. she only coughs at night and the doctor has thoroughly checked her lungs.

For a lot of kids coughing is the only asthma symptom they get - their lungs sound clear. I would see if they would try ventolin or another asthma med to see if it would help. My 3 kids are all on different meds, we had to try a number of different ones to see what worked. Good luck! ------------------ Pink |
