Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose And Productive Cough

My 3yr. old has been battling cycles of runny nose and a productive cough for 6wks. now. The Dr. put her on Celestamine for 5 days only, and Deselex and Nasonex twice a day for the first 5 days, then once a day after that but they haven t seemed to help. She has cycled out of the cough for about 3 days at a time, then it always returns for 7-10 days. It often wakes us all and occasionally has been so violent it caused her to vomit in the middle of the night. We are all exhausted from it. Any other suggestions?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from Chennai.
By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
