My Ped said kids aren't diagnosed until their older. Maybe about 5. My son (16mo) has reactive airway diseas and needs an inhaler when he gets sick. But the Ped said that's not an indication he'll have asthma per se. Some kids will grow out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-show-signs-of-asthma#post-2393347 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 09:41:47 +0000 MenagerieMama 2393347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asthma can't even be diagnosed until maybe age 2 the earliest. With airways that tiny even babies that won't grow up to have asthma can have "reactive airway disease" or wheeze when they're sick. So you won't be able to really know for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-show-signs-of-asthma#post-2393239 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 07:34:34 +0000 Bubbles 2393239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He got a cold around 6 months and had a really hard time with his breathing, and he was prescribed an inhaler and spacer. They won't diagnose him until he's past toddlerhood, but each time he gets a cold his breathing flares up. Hopefully he will grow out of it though, my asthma has got so much better since childhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-show-signs-of-asthma#post-2393238 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 07:29:09 +0000 yin 2393238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's still too early for a diagnosis, but LO has a prescription for an inhaler with a spacer. He was almost 2 at the time. We noticed he had issues breathing the last time he was sick, and it scared us enough to bring him to the ER. He was sick this week, and the same thing happened but luckily this time we had the inhaler ready for him. Looks like his breathing takes a hit every time he gets sick. :crying: He has food allergies, which increases his chances of developing asthma. I think by age 5 we will know for sure if this will be an ongoing issue for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-show-signs-of-asthma#post-2393207 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 03:39:14 +0000 red_seattle 2393207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't say for sure, but definitely by a year. By 18 months we had him on taking an inhaler nightly and it made a huge difference in how well he slept and how often he got sick. And how severe it was when he did get sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-show-signs-of-asthma#post-2393187 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 02:21:11 +0000 BSB 2393187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since DH has asthma, we are pretty paranoid about our LOs having asthma. The pediatrician said 3 months is a bit early to see any signs. </p> <p>When did you see signs of asthma? </p>
