Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Breathing In A Child

I have a 9 year old daughter who for about a year now, off and on, complains that it s a little bit hard to breathe . She says she is in no pain, just difficult to get a full breath. He younger sister has mild asthma that presents itself usually only with a cold. When it started early last spring I took her to the walk in clinic and the doctor told me it could be mild asthma too, to try the inhaler route. We did, but it didn t seem to help. That time it went on for a couple of weeks most evenings around bed time. I thought it might be allergies so I took her back to our family doctor who gave us a nasal inhaler to try. I m not sure it helped either. We went through a couple of months of nothing but now again, she is been a couple of weeks, not every day, but almost every other day saying it s hard to breathe again . I had her try her nasel spray again, but am wondering if there is something else I should try? or should I take her back to the family doctor? Thank you.

Hi,

My suggestion is to visit the doctor. You mentioned having another child with asthma, so I think the doctor will rule out or diagnose an allergic asthma, a lung disease or gastroesofageal reflux as cause of the difficulty on breathing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
