MY SON IS 4 1/2 YEARS AND WE WERE TOLD HE HAS A SMALL WINDPIPE. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. WE THOUGHT HE HAD ASTHMA. HIS SYMPTOMS ARE WHEEZING, CHRONIC COUGH, COMPLAINS OF A SORE THROAT EVERY TIMES HE CRIES AND IF HE CRIES FOR A FEW MINUTES HE HAS A HARD TIME TO BREATH AND BARKS LIKE A SEAL (CROUPY COUGH). THEY SAY THAT IT IS ALMOST LIKE HE HAS CONSTANT CROUP. WHICH HE DOES ALL WINTER LONG. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT COULD CAUSE A SMALL WINDPIPE, CAN IT BE FIXED (THEY KEPT SAYING HE WOULD OUTGROW THE CROUP BY THE TIME HE WAS 4),OR DOES ANYONE HAVE SOMEONE WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.
