Hi,welcome to HCM!
When the child is not improving on conventional treatment,you have to do the following.
1 get urgent appointment with the pediatrician as busy ER may miss somethings.
2 the child needs X-ray chest as you say the sputum is bloody - it shows the possibility of pneumonia and not simple asthma!
3 if you can not get pediatric appointment, pl go to ER again and mention bloody sputum.
