Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Upper Respiratory: Sounds notoriously like the common cold(upper respiratory infection). You dont mention if you have a fever or not. It appears you have a history of bronchospasm, so be sure to use your bronchodilator and not miss your singulair (montelukast).Feel better soon, usually lasts 5-7 days, cough can linger a bit longer.
