I've heard the phrase air trapping before when DS has had an upper respiratory infection. We usually increase Chest Physiotherapy. Is she on pulmozyme? I seem to recall an article that talked about how that helps with air trapping -- suppose it thins the mucus, which is what's causing the air to be trapped in the first place. I'm just guessing here...
