Suggest remedy for chronic cough due to accentuated bronchovascular markings
Patient: my 2.5 yr old son is suffering from cough dry initially and now quite mucous for last one year. His latest x ray shows that he has accentuated bronchovascular markings. Nad he weighs only 13 kgs and ht is around 3 feets. He looks weak and chronic coughing . What should i do Doctor: HiCan you please elaborate the symptoms.Is the cough associated with cold or breathlessness? Is there any family history of similar complaints? Is there any exposure to allergens or pollen? The accentuated bronchovascular markings on the x ray chest can be because of repeated lower respiratory tract infections. You should visit a pediatrician for detailed evaluation as we need to rule out whether if it is cough variant asthma or if there is any evidence of lower respiratory tract infection like tuberculosis or any cardiac involvement.
