5 Year Old Has Cyclical Chest Cough That Has Persisted For 6 Months
five year old has cyclical chest cough that has persisted for 6 months my five year old son keeps getting a very bad chest cough every three weeks, hes sick for a week or so then it goes away and comes back three weeks later has been on this cycle for 6 months, was diagnosed with asthma but cycle has continued despite inhaler

he should be on 2 types of inhalers- one asthalin for relief of acute cough symptoms & a steroid inhaler like budecort for controlling frequency of attacks. please check if tehnique is correct & ur son is geting adequate treatment.
other main issue is that, avoid all that is causing allergy in him like dust, smoke, agarbati, saambrni smoke and clean his mattress once in 3 days & sun dry it. these things can reduce the episodes.
