My 6 yr old son had walking pnuemonia when he was 4 yrs for 3 1/2 months. After this, he developed asthma. He has allergies and was on clariton before it was OTC. Now he is on xopenex and pulimcort as needed and Singulair 5mg every night before bed. In the last couple of months, i have noticed that he is coughing a considerable amount in his sleep and looks tired in the morning. We are a non smoking family with dogs that are NOT allowed in the bedrooms. All the pillows and mattresses have the allergen covers, and we have hardwood floors that are swept at least once a day. I am concerned about his cough as it is worsening over time and wondered if this was a sign that his asthma is becoming worse. We have a doc appt with his ped next week, but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts. Only serious answers please. Thanks in advance.
