Hi My daughter has freequent cough and cold and it will serious sometimes. We have already consulted 4 doctors and they that this is a allergic cough. Not sure how to get rid of it as my little daughther is sufferiing a lot since a quite long time. Your advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of asthma is more likely. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. She will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial. Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
