Hi

In May 2007, my DD started to cough very hard at night to the point
where she threw up her dinner, daily for a couple of weeks.  Actually,
she would cough even at naps and throw up.  After about 3 weeks of
this, she was put on asthma medication and things got a lot better. I
had given her the puff till end of july at which point I stopped the
treatment and the pediatrician was fine with it.

Fast forward to now, and a week ago DD got a COLD.  She was fine but
then on Monday started to develop a cough....and last night she
coughed very had and threw up all her dinner again.  I am wondering if
this could be the cough variant asthma again showing up.  I gave her
one dose of the asthma puff this morning and wonder if i should
continue to give her the puff for about a week before stopping it.  I
have read that you can get the asthma after a cold, could this be
happening in my DD's case?  She was taking 2 puffs a day in the past
and i am thinking of just doing that.

Thanks
