Wheezing accompanied by rapid breathing is not always a symptom of Asthma. It is more likely to be a symptom of bronchitis. Use nasal drops or nasal aspirators for relief. Keep the home free from cigarette smoke, dust and other pollutants. Hospitalisation may be required if there is a severe lack of oxygen and the child`s lips and fingertips turn blue.

Children with asthma tend to breathe harder. Their breathing is accompanied by a wheezing noise, especially while breathing out. These attacks are mostly due to allergic reactions to the common grass, pollens, dust or pet`s fur. Sudden changes of temperature and hot winds can also initiate an attack.
