It's been a full 11 days since I first got chicken pox, and the scabs haven't fallen off yet. I'm really starting to worry because it doesn't seem like any of them are going away. Is this normal? How much longer is it going to take for them to disappear?

Question

My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

I'm really worried about my little boy; he's just 2 years and 5 months old and has been having this cold, cough, and wheezing. I feel helpless and not sure how to make him feel better. What would be the best way to get him proper treatment?
