Asthma moms

X just woke up coughing so hard he couldn't breathe in between. Last winter his pedi suspected asthma. He asked for water and he did his nebulizer which seemed to help a lot for now.

I'm calling the pedi first thing in the morning and we'll go to the ER if we need to in the next 4 hours. I don't have a rescue inhaler for him. What else can I do for him? What should I watch for? Any advice?

What was in the nebulizer? Our rescue inhaler is albuterol but so is our nebulizer
Watch how his stomach and chest moves

Our dr has given us prednisone to keep on hand. It works fast and that's usually what I do before going to ER

Cold air outside can help too
It's so stressful. Luke will usually cough until he throws up when it's bad

It's albuterol, that's good to know. He's been sleeping, then just stood up and repeated "I no like it" a few times, seemingly still asleep. I laid him down again and he seems to have fallen back asleep.
