Along with having them checked for Asthma, get a humidifier in your house. My DH and I usually have ours running by the end of Sept. I suffer from year round allergies, was diagnosed in my early teens w/chronic bronchitis (my maternal granddad had Asthma) "after" we moved from a moist state to a dry state. My allergies are more severe when the moisture level drops and the dryer the air the more severe the cough and nose bleeds would occur - DH gets severe nose bleeds and sinus head aches... Since we moved back to a moister climate we really only use the humidifier during mid fall and winter. One of the reasons I agree with having the children checked for Asthma is that with dryer air children can have shallower breathing, esp. if they lay on their backs most of the night - this can also assist with children having their sinus clogged which can cause snoring or worse open mouth breathing - dry throats, and tighter airways.
