Is an itchy neck a symptom of asthma in children?
An itchy neck can be a symptom of an allergic reaction, which could make a child susceptible to asthma, but it is not an indicator of asthma. Look for signs of welts or rash which are characteristic of an allergic reaction. Look for signs of wheezing or breathing difficulty to see if there is an asthmatic reaction. Allergic reactions on the neck might occur from certain types of clothing, food, or airborne particles.
