QUESTION FOR MY SON

Hi there Is your house too dry or too moist? They have at the stores (sorry I can't recall which one) a little device that measures the moisture in your house and it lets you know whether it's too dry or too moist. If you use a humidifier in a too moist house you will run into the problem of mold spores which is absolutely horrible for allergy and asthma sufferers. So before you run out to buy a humidfier or dehumidifier, please check the quality of moisture in your home. Many asthma sufferers, especially children, for some reason have an increase of symptoms at night when they sleep. My son was the same way at that age, he would never go into a full blown attack but he would cough all night. One of the things that my Ped. suggested is raising his pillows while he sleeps, have you tried this? Also too, definately contact your doc to see if he/she has other suggestions for you. Asthma is a scarey thing for sure especially when it involves your child.........take care and let us know how the little guy does

my daughter is 3 and her symptoms are always at night also. She also has allergies one of which is dust mites. We saw an improvement when we had her pillow, boxspring and matress encased and removed as much material/cloth/stuffed animals from her room as possible. If you don't have a specialist for your child i realy recommend you see one. we have had such a turn around in our little girl once she saw an allergy asthma specialist and got almost all new meds for her and reduced as much as possible her exposure to allergens/triggers.

You should also wash his bedding often in hot water. and keep dust to a minumum. what you should also get is a hepa filter because most stuff that sets off asthma is stuff in the air floating around
