Hello,
According to the mentioned symptoms, I suspect a pulmonary pathology like asthma, COPD, allergic
bronchitis,
eosinophilia. Achest physician can arrive at an accurate diagnosis after clinical examination and required investigations. One thing I can certainly tell is that Pamelor is in no way helpful for treating
chronic cough. To those patients who visit my clinic with such symptoms, I do order the following investigations only after a thorough and detailed clinical examination:
1) chest x-ray PA view
2) sputum examination
3) absolute eosinophils count
4) pulmonary function tests.
As you had been to so many specialists, I can understand your pain. Just once see a chest physician once and discuss the above issues. Now I can suggest few medications that would provide her a temporary relief:
1) if it is a productive cough, expectorant syrups containing
bromhexine, guaiphenesin can be used
2) for
dry cough, antitussive codeine containing syrup is useful 3) a
bronchodilator short-acting beta 2 agonist spray inhalation would help in relieving
shortness of breath.
4) exposure to trigger factors like cold environment, dust etc to be avoided.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi.m,
