My son has asthma, which usually only appears when he has a cold.
For the past couple of weeks he's had a permanently blocked nose and a frequent cough. But I'm confused - I thought asthma was usually accompanied by a dry cough, whereas his is quite "phlegmy" - when he wakes up coughing, it seems like he has to clear his pipes and then he can go back to sleep.
What are other people's experiences. I'd just like to understand this condition better.
(And please don't tell me to see the doctor, as obviously we already have).
