my 9 month old baby had his first asthma attack yesterday...

They can out grow the asthma when they are young even through the teenage years it can be cured or out grown. Do note that it is over diagnosed in this medical day in age when the issue may be something in the home. Often people do not realize they have a toxin in the house that can cause symptoms that mimic asthma. This too could be your husbands issues if he did not have it before the home you are in. Toxins can be different types of molds in the carpet, walls or structure. Asbestos in the housing material. Formaldehyde in the building materials and or other chemicals used in press boards. Spray and other chemical household cleaners can have this effect as well as chlorine. I myself was diagnosed with asthma and in fact it was an allergy to chlorine. We put filters on the household water supply (the local water is chlorinated for health reasons) buy non-chlorine bleach and I stay our of pools and hot tubs. See the thing is for two years I took medicines for the wrong thing so they never really worked just made me sicker. When either your husband or son has an attack take note of what was being done, where you were and what they touched. If you keep a diary of it you may be able to see a trigger. If it is asthma it is good to know the triggers. If it seems as though one specific thing sets it off it might be that thing. Also try changing out the sheets every other or every night as dust mites can be a reason also. Good luck!

My 3rd and 4th baby had asthma.when they got older and grew it stoped.They grew out of it.
