What causes cough with a runny nose?
Patient: My 15month old baby suddenly developed a nasty cough sunday, and didn t sleep well of this cough. he cried after coughing. He almost always has a running nose. he did not indicate that his ears were sore and even his through is not red. He just have this awful cough. He is getting a new set of teeth. My husband took him to the doctor and among coughing syrup, antibiotics and something for fever he gave us Celestamine syrup. I had asthma as a child. Is it possible that my baby may have it too? Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from Chennai.By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5.
