What Causes Severe Cough And Wheezing In A Toddler?
Hi, my son is 5 years old and was diagnosed with asthma. He suffers from a severe cough througout the day and worse at night,he has wheezing and has white phlegm that he spits up once in a while. He was having green discharge from his nose not so much now but every once in a while. The chest congestion and cough have been present since christmas. Can these symptoms be a sign of something more serious?

Hi,
If there is no fever then need not to worry much. Just be aware of the danger signs. Breathlessness along with cough might be due to asthma with secondary pathogenic infection (mostly viral in winter season).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
