Dr. Katharine Cox answered

Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Asthma: Asthma is often referred to as bronchitis. The symptoms are similar. Asthma is recurrent wheezing. Bronchitis may be a diagnosis given for coughing. If wheezing is involved And it responds to medication for asthma, it is likely asthma. All the best.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
