to answer your question, Yes I am an asthmatic, but so far have not seen symptoms in either of my children. And to your second question, she was only 2 weeks early no problems.

Most likely ur baby has Asthma. Start Syp. Acebrophylline 2.5 ml (25 mg) twice daily so as to mature her lungs and prevent development of full blown asthma.
