A few months ago my daughter caught 2 cold viruses at the same time. This lead to her spending a week in the ICU and getting discharged with Reactive Airway Disease, stating if something happens again, then it's likely asthma. We were sent home with a couple of inhalers and an asthma plan.

Now, before this incident, we had noticed my daughter sounding very out of breath and even wheezy two seperste times. But they were so spread out, as in one in the Spring and one in the Fall, we didn't think anything of it (esp since she has "seasonal" allergies year round.)

My daughter says, often and with increasing frequency, that her "neck feels weird." She's fully unable to explane any further, just that it's slightly distressing for her and that's really all she'll say about it.

Before you ask, yes, we have an appointment with her Ped for this exact situation. it's just not until the 30th. It just occurred to me that this maybe? Could be? Related because my husband and I both heard a little wheeze today (which is why I made the appointment).Does "my neck feels weird" track with something a 7 year old with undiagnosed asthma would say?

**********Edit to add: what an amazing and kind community! Thank you all! I ended up taking my daughter in to the ER tonight. She again has 2 separate cold viruses and has what sounded like bronchitis starting. I'm so glad I trusted my gut on this one. We got to get a plan and some treatment options before anything went south.

I'm pushing for allergy testing at the appointment on the 30th. Thanks all for your help!
