Child Having Cough During Night And While Running And Does Soft Snore While Breathing During Day

My 3 year old coughs at night and while running. Tested negative for all allergies and her doctor does not think it's asthma because she does not wheeze. Recently noticed that she has started snoring at night and breathes loudly during the day...almost a soft snore when she breathes during the day. Any suggestions?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology ,  's  Response
Some children may have cough with exercise and at night as their breathing tubes are sensitive. If she has difficulty in breathing which lasts for few minutes to hours then she may have asthma or reactive airways. She is likely to have enlarged adenoids as you say she is snoring at night. You could try MONTELEUKAST syrup 4 milligrams once a day for 6-8 weeks. This has been shown to reduce adenoids swelling in preschool children. If she continues to have cough with exercise and at night try Asthalin inhaler with a spacer device ans mask. Hope this is helpful. You can contact me if you have any queries and concerns
