What Causes Tickling Sensation In Throat With Breathing Difficulty?

My daughter is 13 ,she has a situation that is starting to concern me. It started a couple of weeks ago; but has become more and more frequent recently. Usually, it happens during the night or first thing in the morning (when She first wakes up). she feels a sort of tickle in her throat and the impulse is to cough. However, she has learned that if she coughs, she completely loses her breath - then she spends the next several seconds (seems like minutes) gasping and trying to catch her breath. Once she catchs her breath, everything is fine. The first time this happened (a couple of weeks ago), she just passed it off as that she had probably gotten choked on saliva or something during her sleep. what do u think is causing this symptom? Than you

All the symptoms match with bronchial Asthma. If there is a family history of allergy or asthma, the chances of having asthma to the child increase. You need to get a chest X ray done and start treatment immediately or these symptoms will go on increasing hampering the growyh of the child. Untill you get to apediatrician you can give Montair LC 10mg once daily, syr Levilin 3 times daily.
