Hi im 13 years old and I weigh 80 pounds. I have all the signs of asthma and once in a while i have to try really hard to just be able to breathe. My mom doesn t believe me so she won t take me to the doctor.I choke on just about everything and cough alot and just running for 2 seconds gets me really tired and really hard to breathe.
Chronic cough and shortness of breath, exercise intolerance are all sings of obstructive air way disease, on of the is asthma, to confirm the diagnosis we need to do pulmonary function test.according to severity treatment is provided. Which includes in your case a short course of oral steroid , inhaled corticosteroid and short-acting beta agonist inhaler like albuterol. I highly recommend visiting your pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis.
