Chronic cough in 4 year old
Please help my nephew has been suffering from cough and l congestion on and off for more than 6 months. I describe the symptoms below:His cough is usually triggered by either exhaustion or
certain foods - like juice or chips or something sour. Milk also aggravates
it. It is worse at night when he lies down in bed or early morning if he is
not fully rested. He also coughs when he is very excited and is running
around and laughing a lot. He gts them in bouts when he coughs so much that
it ends up sounding like he will throw up - but he does not. when he is
excited and running, his cough starts with short spurts - almost like he is
clearing his throat but ends up with a strong bout. His cough is usually wet
but he is not able to take out the mucus. when he gets his cough bout, it
sounds like a mix of wet and dry cough and it last sfor so long that he is
almost out of breath and his face becomes red and his eyes fill with water.
When he had a bad cough last time, i took him to the doctor and she said
that his chest was congested and so i gave him antibiotics- which cleared
up the congestion. now he is better. in the past i have given him hepar
sulphuris.
Thanks
