Some of the symptoms of asthma in young children include a prolonged and severe cough when they get colds. Very often, their cold symptoms can last for weeks, and they can cough and vomit up mucus, writes Dr. David Wong.Our daughter is 15 months old. In the last few months, she has been sick a lot after she started going to daycare. Every time, she started with a cold, and this invariably progressed into a bad cough that lasted for weeks.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, many children stayed home and had few contacts with other children. Once the pandemic rules were relaxed, children started going to school and daycare. Respiratory viruses naturally circulate among children who have little exposure and immunity to common respiratory viruses, including rhinoviruses that cause common cold, influenza viruses and respiratory syncytial virus , not to mention the COVID-19 virus and others.
Some of the symptoms of asthma in young children include a prolonged and severe cough when they get colds. Very often, their cold symptoms can last for weeks, and they can cough and vomit up mucus. Sometimes parents can hear a wheezy noise when they breathe. If it is severe, these children can breathe very rapidly, and parents may see their chest sucking in between the ribs or under the ribcage. These are all signs of respiratory distress.
