    Hi
    I have 7.5 month old twins and my DD has been coughing mostly in the morning and after feeds and am wondering if it could be a sign of asthma? She occasionally coughs after playing and rolling around on the floor. I know she's sensitive to the air conditioner but am not sure if this dry cough is something more?
    I post here as I read asthma can't be diagnosed until age 5.

    I wouldn't worry about it... if they seem to be taking deep breaths and have problems breathing, yeah, I'd worry, but if it's just cough, not really. In my experience (I have asthma), if I get to coughing, you'll hear me wheezing and struggling to breathe first. I'd definitely mention it to your pediatrician though.

    It could be reflux. My kids all had reflux, and that's something they do, even if they aren't spitting it out. It can cause extra coughing. Especially since it's after feeds. Something to think about.
