A couple of times during swim practice in May Christian would get out of the pool complaining about a pain in his chest and difficulty breathing. At the time we were busy, long days and I just figured he was getting tired. In June we moved to daytime practice, no school... Almost wake up and go, no way was he tired yet onhe first day he came out of the pool complaining about the same pain and breathing problems... That made me think he had sports related asthma or a mild cse asthma or something like that... Off to the doctor we go...
After evaluating him and getting his history (no problems like this in the past 3 years of swimming) she felt it was most likely allergies that has caused an inflammation in his bronchioles. He as put on a steroid inhaler twice a day to relieve the inflammation, a bronchiole dilator inhaler for just before practice to open his air way up and a nightly dose of Zyrtec... Working great so far! He'll be on this for about 2 weeks.
