Advice For 14 Months Old Baby With Cough, Breathing Difficulty And Bit Hissing
My 14 month old had a runny nose about 5 days ago and now he has been coughing and breathing with difficulty.. it sounds like he's hissing a bit. My worries are that it could be asthma. I don't know what to do if I should just keep calm with a humidifier or go to the hospital in the morning? Help please!!!

Go to a hospital and consult a pulmonologist.Get a X-Ray and if necessary blood counts.From the symptoms it seems that your baby is suffering from obstructive airway disease,would require bronchodialators.
