It sounds as though your daughter's asthma is not being adequately controlled. Every person with asthma should be able to achieve control to the point that occurrence of symptoms is rare. In addition, it sounds as though she is having severe allergy symptoms (the rash).

 

My advice is to contact her pediatrician or family doctor to request a consult with an allergy specialist, called an allergist. An allergist should be able to evaluate what's going on with her and to put together a management plan that will enable her to live without regular asthma & allergy symptoms. That could involve changes in medicine and other measures.

 

To your health,

Kathi

An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
