Last week I suspect my young
Last week I suspect my young daughter have a chicken box because she had a number of small pimples in her hands. Couple of day ago she told me about some kids in her class who have it. Since I know chicken box is a contagious desease, I thought she caught it. Although she didn't have other symptoms but we went to the doctor for check and treatment. Fortunately, after the doctor checked her, he stated that she is in the pink and there is no need to wary.
Chris, please tell me if there is any thing to improve in my writing.

I am allergic to dust, but I
I am allergic to dust, but I somehow manage to stay pink where as my friend who is comparatively stronger than me is under the weather for the most part of the year.
Every time she falls sick, we had to treat her at the nearby hospital where they inject her with the latest antibiotic medicines. Sometimes dust allergy also leads me to wheezing but once I get the symptoms, I take extra care to avoid sickness. Wheezing is not a contagious disease. It depends on the individual person’s health condition.
