Asthma Support Group

Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.

Dear Donna...I really don't know that much about childhood asthma...however...I think your best bet is to keep your child's bedroom as allergy free and clean as possible (no pets allowed and keep the sheets cleaned). Maybe also run a cool mist humidifier...whatever your doc recommends..I haven't ever heard about the cocunut thing (snake oil? coconut oil? if only it were that simple). The good news is....a lot of children outgrow childhood asthma...I hope that is the case with yours...sincerely Bluekat

Sorry Donna3, I don't know if coconut oil helps. But if I run across anything I'll let you know. You can certainly run into a good amount of information (I've made no assessment of the QUALITY of that information) by Googling "coconut oil asthma" and the like.

Good luck. Thanks for helping your children.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
