my son who is now 3 years old has been suffering from chronic coughing, often with vomiting, since he was 30 months. lungs X-rays, antibiotics, vitamins and syrops did not help him at all. until a doctor eventually diagnosed asthma induced allergy. he now has an inhaler just in case and is on Singulair (asthma treatment) and is completely healed.
I just want to warn parents that asthma is not just the typical hard-to-breath symptom that we very know of. it comes with a variety of signs. so, be careful.

my sister and i had asthma as a child. it was difficult to diagnose because my parents initially thought we had something else. glad that it is curable.

good to know that your son is fine now, Irene.
