My daughter has been on two different medications for strep . She does not have any symptoms other than a small cough and constant clearing of her throat. When she goes to volleyball practice and they do conditioning, she has having asthma attacks. The Dr. said her lung capacity is good. He put her on Cefdinir and she took it for 12 days. She has now been off of the Cefdinir for 5 days and today she had worse asthma attacks at practice. What is going on? She takes zyrtec, singulair and an inhaler ever day.
