#asktheexpert Hi doctor, My daughter is 4.5 yrs old. She often gets severe cough. IgE test result was 135. Normal reference range was 0 to 60. she is on inhaler from last one month. Now she has cough only in the morning as soon as she wakes up for 5 to 10 mins continuously. she had this kind of cough for 6 months last year. Could you please confirm if she is going to have asthma lifelong. will she outgrow it for sure. Is the IgE value too high? How common is asthma in children
