Suggest Treatment For Dry Wheezy Cough Last For Months Now
My 3 year old son has had a dry wheezy cough since he was a few months old. He was given an inhaler for asthma at this time. He has also suffered from excessive dribbling, runny nose and secretions from the ears. Now at the age of 3 his speech is still not great (is under the speech therapy team) and he has difficulties in hearing. We have been trying to get these issues addressed with not much support from the doctors or hospitals. We haven't seen anyone from ENT either. The hearing clinic said its his asthma, the speech therapy says its his hearing, but we've been discharged from the asthma clinic etc etc... My son starts school next year and it's already affecting him. Please can anyone else advise? He also had an op a few weeks old for a constricted bowel. Other than being on antibiotics for his chest and ears he is otherwise well. Thank you

Thanks for asking
I gone through your question. your 3 year old son is diagnose as asthma and he has secretion from ears and hearing and speech problem.
As he has ear problem in from of ear discharge. and he is having hearing problem. If was your treating pediatrician i would send you to ENT specialist for full ear check up and hearing assessment. As he is having ear discharge , the cause of hearing difficulty should be due to ear discharge. so no need to confuse and worry please meet with ENT specialist in near future. because earlier the intervention for hearing is done better the speech out come.
hope i able to answer your question.
