Can a pet allergy cause your nose to plug, give you a sore throat and a bad cough?
Author: I recently adopted a puppy. I felt fine for about a week an a half, but 2 days ago I began to sneeze alot. My nose plugged and I had to blow almost constantly. I also came down with a sore throat and a bad cough. Is this a result of a pet allergy or did I just come down with a cold? I've been around dogs all my life and I don't ever recall reacting like this before.
Does anyone else out there have asthma that the main symptom is coughing?
I cough so much sometimes that I can't breathe. I don't have the normal wheezing that you hear about. I was just diagnosed with asthma a few years ago. After having an undiagnosed cough for a year.
What is the best cold/allergy medicine for a child?
I have a 3 year old daughter and she has been coughing and you can hear the mucusy stuff in her throat. So far no fever and no green snot. Any suggestions on the best cold allergy medicine to help her with all her symptoms. I need to break up the mucus and relieve her cough at the same time.
When is the earliest asthma can be diagnosed in a baby?
My baby is almost 6 months old. She's on a neb every 4-6 hours because of bronchitis, but her doctor said it could be an early sign of asthma. Now she went to the doctor today for fever and a cough and they said it was her air ways and "asthma like symptoms". But they told me they can't diagnose her yet.
If you’re an asthmatic, how can you tell the difference between an asthma attack and a panic attack?
I've had asthma for approximately 14 years but it's gradually getting worse as I get older and my attacks are more frequent. I've been put on additional preventative medicine but have always wondered about the difference between asthma and anxiety/panic attacks. I'm not sure if I experience the latter because my asthma does scare me on occasion. Is it normal to get scared during an attack? How can you tell if it's just a little fear or full blown anxiety?
Things I have been experiencing lately are: wheezy cough, chest soreness and aches, breathlessness, and feeling as if weights are sitting on my chest. Sometimes I feel achey and weak all over. At times, I get frustrated when my asthma is out of control because it's hard to breathe but I do not hyperventilate or experience a racing heart. I just have difficulty getting a breath and I become really achey, especially after I take my rescue inhaler.
What am I experiencing and is it typical for an asthma attack or panic attack?
