Asthma in children can have many different physical and behavioral symptoms. Paying close attention to your child can help you spot the early warning signs of asthma.

Here’s a list of common symptoms, courtesy of the American Lung Association:

* Coughing that is not related to an illness, especially at night.
* Frequently clearing of the throat.
* Irregular breathing.
* Wheezing, even slightly.
* Labored or very loud breathing.
* In some children who are having an asthma attack, the notch just above the Adam’s apple sinks in as they breathe.
* Unusual paleness or sweating.
