Effect on lifestyle?: If your kid is playful, resting well at night and the sx bother u more than the kid, simple monitoring is ok. Reduce or eliminate exposures to known irritants, smoke/fumes/etc. If kid is not up to playing & appears worn out or otherwise down, a look over with his regular dr is in order.
