The ratio of asthma in children is increasing day by day. Wheezing is one of the common symptoms children usually encounter with. Basically, wheezing occurs when the child is breathing out. While the severity of wheezing can vary from mild to extreme, children with severe asthma have to bear wheezing even while they breathe in. The situation can become even worse during an asthma attack. At that time, wheezing does not occur because there is absent of passage of air in the airways.

Breathlessness, chest tightness as well as cough are some other symptoms which can be seen very common amongst children suffering from asthma. A very crucial lung disorder called cystic fibrosis also gets associated and it can prove to be dangerous as well. With regards to nocturnal asthma in children, only cough is the symptom which can be observed. Cough can occur during the early hours of morning. Chest tightness can turn out to be a big difficulty for the child because due to this, the child may feel like the chest is tight and might not be able to expand it while breathing. Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of asthma.
