A member asked:
My son has asthma, recently diagnosed. he is an ear infection and is on antibiotics but now his cough has worsened and i don't know how to help him...

Mgt: I would suggest a virtual consult to review his asthma plan. He may need the addition of an oral steroid, depending on his severity. If you can hear wheezing or if he is short of breath, please see acute care.
