My fourteen year old son has a chest cold but no fluid in his lungs according to his pediatrician and he claimed gasping for air and not being able to breathe which is the worst at night. Last night he woke out of a sound sleep gasping for air and not getting any. he was able to start breathing slowly in a minute but I have never seen all air cut off from a chest cold. What are my options? Is there an inhaler I can buy until I can get him to an ENT DR. which is 2 weeks away? Thanks.
Hello, thank you for posting at Chat Doctor. From your post, I surmise that your son has a wheeze which will make breathing at night or early morning harder, and possibly a nose block due to Chat Doctor.  My suggestion would be:1. Put saline nose
