Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
10 year old has a had a cough since march has been treated for cold cough asthma and allergies. She has inhalers and meds to take the cough just will not go away. Has been on a stronge antibotic and continued to get 103 fever and body aches. Has seen several doctors. Also gaining alot of weight fast. We need to get to the bottom of all of this. They are now treating her for whooping cough. I think they dont know what to do.
HI Well come to HCM If this is the chronic cough then giving antibiotic blindly is not good such chronic symptom of cough need to be investigated for underlying pathologies, and this may need x-ray of chest and routine blood work, hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
