Asthma likely: This is consistent with exercise induced asthma and I recommend that you discuss this with your pediatrician in view of the severity of your son's symptoms.

Exercise- induced: asthma. He needs to see pediatrician so he can get a script for bronchodilator and steroid. Depends on severity, steroids can be given orally, injection or inhaled.
