<s>[INST] My baby coughs a lot, even when he isn't sick with a cold. He doesn't wheeze. Could this be asthma? [/INST] Not all children with asthma will wheeze. It may be asthma even if his only symptom is coughing. Asthma may also make his cough worse during colds, when he is around tobacco smoke or other things he is allergic to, or when he is active. He needs to see the doctor for this as soon as possible, so that a correct diagnosis about his cough can be made. If it is asthma, there are ways available to prevent or control asthma symptoms. This may include medications and simply keeping the child away from things that cause the symptoms. Source: AIM. Link: https://getasthmahelp.org/adult-faq.aspx. Field: Lung Disease.
