Q. My mother likes to give my nephew books at a 3 yr old level. I become very upset because she doesn't give him books that a child his age should read. I wanted to get him the Roald Dahl collection of books because I read all of them in the 4th grade. She gets upset with me when I tell her he needs to read books on his level. I think that she is holding him back from learning.He has already been left back and I want him to be able to be up to speed but she just doesn't understand. My mother has custody of him. How can I get her to understand that he should get books and let me help him more with his reading?

How do you handle cough on 3 yr old girl?
Q. I have a 3 yr old daughter who always cough everytime the weather change (mostly from sunny to rain). She tends to cough and flu when it is humid. Doctor said she has asthmatic allergy. What treatment can I do for her?
Answer
You should not ignore her cough. She has asthma. A child with severe allergies can develop severe asthma, and she could die.
I don't want to say this to scare you but my daughter's pediatrician kept saying my daughter was to young for allergies and asthma, and at 3 years old she had a cough so bad she could not talk.
I brought her to emergency and she had to be admitted for 5 days. They told me at the end of our stay that she could have died had I waited any longer as her lungs had almost closed right up. I was horrified.
The nurse taught me about asthma, made me listen to her chest (which sounded like an accordian) she wheezed. You can actually hear it when your child wheezes. When she exhales it sounds like a whistle...or an accordian letting its air out. This is PROOF POSITIVE that your child has asthma. I actually went out and bought a stethoscope. It cost me $100 but at least I knew for sure when she was wheezing after that.
You need to get her to an allergist, find out what her allergies are, and AVOID THEM.
That is the best and only way to treat allergies.
Now for her asthma, that's another story. You have to get your daughter on puffers. If you don't her lungs will get scarred from all the asthma episodes and she will have damaged lungs and can develop emphysema later in life.
Make sure you learn all about how to use the puffers and when. One opens the airways, the other keeps her lungs from inflamming. One is emergency opening of the airways, the other keeps her from having that spasmadic cough. That is called the preventor...usually Flovent. The one that opens the airways and relaxes the muscles is called Ventolin, but they come under various other names too.
This is really what your daughter needs. She is probably allergic to dust, mold, grass, trees, ragweed and animals (cats especially). You should treat her for now as if she IS allergic to all these.
So in her bedroom, cover in plastic or with allergen covers her mattress which is the worst for dust mites and dust, her pillow (no feather pillows or duvets), get rid of books, anything that gathers dust...NO RUGS....and if your house is moldy get a dehumidifier or move! Get rid of pets indoors. Keep the doors and windows shut...NO SMOKING in the house under any circumstances...this is the worst trigger...avoid strong fumes, smoke, and chemicals in the house.
