Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sweating And Dry Cough
My son lived in southern Arizona 2 years ago and had Valley Fever. But ever since he moved back to Missouri he has had a severe dry cough, severe sweating and knots on his side torso. Ex rays show his lungs clear. I m wondering if he should be treated with anti fungi medicine because nothing else the doctors have done helped.
