Your Baby And Asthma
December 13, 2008
As parents, especially moms, we worry 24 hours a day 7 days a week about our youngsters. A little sniffle, the slightest wheeze and we are on the phone with the pediatrician trying to schedule an appointment.
A big concern now for parents is whether or not their child has asthma. It can be so hard trying to determine what is wrong when they can’t even talk yet. You just have to pay attention to what the symptoms are. Many children are allergic to house dust mites, pollen and even house pets.
One of the things that you can do to help the doctor is to keep a diary of things or symptoms that concern you. If you notice that certain concerns seem to be worse at night or even first thing in the morning, this is a common sign of asthma. When they are a little older and actually able to communicate, even though it may not be very well, listen to them. If they complain often of a stomach ache it could actually be a sign of tightness in the chest.
Another thing that you can do is a little family research on the history. Check into yours and your partner’s family ancestry and see if there has been anyone with asthma or allergies to anything in particular. Eczema can make your child more susceptible to asthma as well.
Once you get in to see the doctor, they may try to give you a prescription first to see if it helps with the symptoms that your child is having and get a grip on the problems at hand. If the medication that your doctor has given you does not work they may at that time refer you to an allergist.
It is important to take it one step at a time in order to get the proper diagnosis. Jumping the gun will get you nowhere fast and will make you, your child and maybe even the doctor frustrated. So, take your time, make a list and check it twice. You will getting your answers in good time.
