    Girls since I got home yesterday I’ve had a rattle in my chest that I really need to cough up, I’ve got asthma to and can’t breathe in deep enough to take my inhaler as I’m scared of coughing and doing some damage! Will I be ok if I did have a good old cough? X

    The more you worry n think about it the more you will want to, if you do need to sneeze, let it out with a shout, this forwards the sneeze if you do what you normally would which is sneeze as quietly as you can holding your breath, this will use far more stomach muscles and will hurt more!
    For girls with asthma or even just a cough try piriton! A caugh is caused by an increased amount of istamine so by taking an anti it counteracts it! This will help xxxx
