Pediatric Asthma Symptoms & Signs

During an asthma attack, people may have difficulty breathing and may begin to breathe very fast. They may also feel short of breath, even at rest. The child with asthma may need to use the muscles around the chest to help with breathing. Wheezing and coughing are also important signs that can occur during an attack, or even when a child is feeling well. A persistent night-time cough is one common sign of asthma, even in children without other symptoms.
