Medical history
Your child's healthcare professional likely will ask you many questions, such as the following:
- Is there a family history of asthma?
- How often does your child have symptoms?
- Does coughing wake your child at night?
- Do the symptoms happen along with a cold? Or do they happen without a cold?
- Have the symptoms kept your child from going to school or doing other activities?
- How often do bouts of breathing trouble happen? And how long do they last?
- Has your child needed emergency care for breathing trouble?
- Does your child have any known pollen, dust, pet or food allergies?
- Is your child exposed to cigarette smoke or other irritants in the air?
