What Causes Headaches And Cough After Running?
My 8 year old daughter has a persistent cough. Last year she had a FBC done and platelets were low after mysterious chest bruising that disappeared. She has had a couple of nosebleeds recently after running and the cough is also worse after running and has headaches each afternoon and keeps complaining of aches and pains that go as quickly as they come - any ideas? She is very active and runs in competitions but she has been much slower and tires easily lately and very irritable!

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having headaches and cough after running which seems to be due to leftover respiratory tract infection which is leading to sinusitis, tension headache, migraine or cluster headache. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with Paracetamol 500 mg for symptomatic relief. Avoid taking cold beverages and any outside food. You should avoid hot, spicy and sharp food and take steam inhalation on daily basis. Antihistamines like Allegra can also be used in your case. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after complete examination. You should get X-chest and blood tests done and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
