Septal Deviation Of Nose And Head, Allergic Cough. What Can Be Done About It?

Hi Sir,

My Son ( 4yrs old ) has Septal deviation. and he gets cough after every 3-4 days for 2-3 days....Some doctors says its allergic cough and some says its due to Septal deviation of nose and head. I am unable to make a decision where to go and get actual cause of his cough. Allergy tests suggested by his peditritian is 0000*006 and 0000*030 which is too costly, and worthless if the actual cause is Septal deviation. Pls help me in my current situation.

hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm

Septal deviation can produce recurrent upper respiratory tract infection.
But it is very difficult determine what is cause for cough either it is due to septal deviation or allergic condition.
Ent specialist can help you in further management .
Simple investigation like complete blood picture , serum ige levels , absolute eosinophils count may aid in diagnosis.
