Not sure if this should be under allergies or health, but here goes.
Ds2 has had a (wet) cough for 10 weeks but is otherwise in good health. I took him to see the practice nurse the other day and she seemed to suspect asthma as he has no sign of an infection. We were given a peak flow meter and have to monitor his peak flow twice daily for the next two weeks. Although all his readouts are pretty good, I have already noticed he has a much lower readout in the mornings than in the evenings. The nurse said that asthmatics are at their worst in the mornings. I can't bear to wait another week and a half so I was wondering if any mumsnetters had experience of this and could advise if they think this sounds like asthma. He does not get breathless at all, but the nurse said asthma takes many forms.
