Asthma: What are some ways to control a cough for a child with asthma? |
My niece is staying with us and has asthma and has started coughing. It was a last minute decision and she didn't have her inhaler with her. She's sleeping and just starting to cough, but I don't want to let that go because it could throw her into an attack. This has happened to me as well. I have asthma and when I sleep over at someone's house my lungs usually flair up. Its probably because of an alergin in the area. Is your niece sleeping on the floor or in a bed? If on the floor, it could be dust, and if in a bed, it could be that the bedding is feather. I would reccomend checking the bedding to see if it has feathers in it. Some other common triggers that could be causing the cough are pollen, cat or other animal dander, dust mites, or mildew/mold. If you can find the trigger and remove it, you should be good to go. I've had asthma for most of my life. The only thing that's worked for me is inhaling Eucalyptus oil off my hands every morning and night. As for coughs, sounds crazy, but if you rub the oil, or even vicks on your child's feet, the cough should go away within 10 minutes. Report Abuse That's a bit difficult, especially since she usually uses an inhaler. I suppose you don't know what causes the attacks? If you do, keep her away from that. And keep her warm, cold air may induce asthma attacks. Hope that helps! |
