When is the earliest asthma can be diagnosed in a baby?
My baby is almost 6 months old. She’s on a neb every 4-6 hours because of bronchitis, but her doctor said it could be an early sign of asthma. Now she went to the doctor today for fever and a cough and they said it was her air ways and "asthma like symptoms". But they told me they can’t diagnose her yet.
Many doctors wait until they are 2. No reason just a habit. We had a doctor that called it reactive airway diesease. They treat the symptoms anyway.

my little brother was diagnosed with asthma a few weeks after he was born. he pretty much spent most of his time in a hospital as an infant. they say the older they get they will grow out of it. he’s 10 now and hasn’t had any problems with asthma within the last few years.

Asthma can be diagnosed at a very early age. He probably just said that because if she does have asthma, she hasn’t fully developed it. Well, thats my theory.
