How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated While Suffering From Asthma?

My six-year-old has asthma and this past week has had the flu type a. It's been eight days and he is still having horrible coughing fits. He coughed for 36 straight hours before we went to the ER. We've been twice now and they're little help. He's taking prednisone, albuterol nebs and inhalers, anabiotic's for a sinus infection, and we have him on a various cough meds. Nothin lg is helping and he is suffering so... please help!

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you explain the history probably an antibiotic should be added in his current treatment.
