He put her on previacid and it kinda helped well then she got influenza a in december. She stayed in the hospital for four daysd. And her cought was gone. But not her smokers cough is back what can I do?
Get her evaluated by pediatrician. Young children get recurrent cough and cold due to viral infection / reflux. In that case they will need comforting measures in form of humidified air/ honey syrup or antireflux measures if required. You need to look for breathing difficulty . If there is breathing difficulty, bluish discolouration or irritability or poor activity immediately consult doctor.
