My child is wheezing… does that mean they have asthma? Wheezing in children can be scary, but it doesn’t always mean asthma. Wheezing is a symptom, and the most common cause in kids is actually viral infections or colds.🤧 Asthma isn’t diagnosed based on wheezing alone, there are many factors doctors look at before making that diagnosis. If you’re worried about your child’s breathing, it’s always best to get them checked for peace of mind! 👨‍⚕️ Dr Rajamanickam Jayaraj, Consultant Paediatrician
