Allergies, Asthma & "croup" Type Coughing Posted: 12-21-03 15:14pm
My daughter is 2 years and 3 months. She
started developing allerigies a few
months ago and started on a course of
zyrtec and nasonex, she has been on
flixotide 2 / day and zyrtec and nasonex
for about 2 1/2 weeks now. The doctor
also gave me some beredual for when she
has an attack. She has been fine and not
needed it until last night. A few hours
after bed she started coughing this very
horse "croupy" cough. We gave her some
beredual and rushed to the hospital. By
the time the doctor saw her she was fine
and he could find nothing wrong. We went
home and about 5 am this morning she woke
up with the cough again. This got better
quite soon after waking and giving her
flixotide and nasonex. She had a bit of a
dry cough the whole day and started the
coughing again before bed, have given her
her flixotide and berodual. I had a bit
of a burning chest and throat yesterday.
Can you tell me what this is, what can I
do about it, what do you think is causing
this ? She has started showing a cat
allergy with other people's cats. We have
3 cats. I am also allergic to cats and
developed asthma a few years ago. I do
have preflam if neccessary. Please help !

If your cats are allowed in her room and
especially on her bed and pillows then
it's possible that's causing some
problems. Pets should never be allowed in
the bedroom when the child as an allergy.
Get some plastic covers for the bed and
pillows and be sure to clean the sheets
and pillow cases regularly.
