Childhood asthma and recurring cough are common concerns for parents. If your child has frequent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness, these may be early warning signs of asthma. Allergies, dust, cold weather, and infections can trigger symptoms. A long-lasting cough (old cough) should never be ignored, especially if it worsens at night or after physical activity. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent complications. In this guide, Dr Waqar Hussain explains key symptoms, causes, and when to seek medical help. Learn how to protect your child’s lungs, manage allergies, and ensure healthy breathing for your kids.
