Need medication for cough
Patient: chronic coughing my daughter is 3 years old and weighs 50lbs and has been coughing for 2 1/2 months now and everytime I take her to doctor they don't hear weezing in her chest So they don't do anything.  they say it's drainage from her stuffy/runny nose. and it's weird cause she runs a fever one day (103) and then money the next. it's worse at night that she coughs So hard she throws up. I have a neubulizer at home with prescribed medicine for it. they said it would be good to give her treatments and I have for 2 1/2 months but still has This cough. I feel as though they don't believe me. and when she has a fever she breaks out in hives. they put her on an antibiotics /steroids for the hives cause of the itching until they are gone. I did but then they come right back as soon as I stop giving it to her. then she is complaining of ear pain now, So it's back to the doctor.  I don't know what to do or help the doctors understand what is going on help.worried and distressed mother Doctor: Hi,From the history it seems that she requires some investigations to find out the cause of her chronic cough problem.She requires,1, complete blood checking like TC, DC, ESR,2, X-ray chest,3, Montoux test to rule out primary complex.4, stool test for ova and cyst.Many a time Eosinophilia does cause this type of chronic cough.Consult pediatrician and discuss about these tests.Ok and take care.
