You need to go to the doctor. You need a regular medication regimen. You need to get control of your asthma. Don't ever hold in a cough. The coughing is automatic to help get rid of what is in your body that needs to come out. Your lungs are trying to clear itself. Hope you feel better.

Honey, I am getting really concerned about your posts. I can't understand why a child your age should have to turn to a board on the internet with posts like that while your parents don't do something. Obviously if you are feeling like this, your asthma is not under control at all. I can't stress enough to MAKE SOMEONE LISTEN TO YOU! I don't care if you have to go to the school nurse to do it, but if your parents are not taking this seriously, or if they think they have done all they can then something needs to be done. I find your posts here so worrisome. They all seem so desperate and I have a daughter your age. I can't imagine her having to post such things here because nothing is being done. Your parents should be directed here, do they use the internet much? If they do, they really should see what you have posted and how you have been suffering. MAybe someone here can give them some suggestions.

Hi

I completely agree that you need help *now,* and I hope you do.

My asthma has gotten a lot worse over the last several months. I had a relentless cough. Using a steam humidifier helps. I have to have one at my desk at work, and sometimes while I sleep. I also have to use a neublizer machine during the day to keep my breathing intact.

Bottom line for you tho, is that you must get help immediately. Please keep us posted.
