My 4-yr-old daughter has problems after exercise (running around) or with a cold. She gets coughing terribly and sometimes cannot stop, tot he point of vomiting. This is especially true when suffering a cold. When she is not sick nor running aorund, her breathing seems fine. She has had this since she was a toddler. Our doctor suggested thta it was allergies and recommended giving her claritin syrup but that didn't help at all. I think it's a mild asthma.
Does anyone recognize this as asthma or bronchitis? My father-in-law said this happened with my husband as a child but that he outgrew it. My daughter is just old enough to start some sports. I worry that her coughing will keep her from participating.
