What Causes A Watery Chesty Cough With Vomiting And Tiredness?
Hello.My 3 year old daughter has had a persistent cough for approx 3-4 months now, maybe more. I have been back and forth to our gp who has prescribed her with antibiotics but a week later the cough returns. It is an awful watery chesty cough and she struggles to catch her breath sometimes. The bout of coughing has made her vomit once or twice also. She is constantly tired because her cough gets worse at night and we are constantly tired sitting up with her. I am desperate for answers and a diagnosis. Our last gp visit, she was give ventolin inhaler along with a beclazone inhaler and I was told to try this for a month.We are due back for a review this week but the inhalers have made no difference to her cough. It is as bad as ever. Please help!
Hi, H/o fever since long and not responded with antibiotic treatment requires some investigations to come to proper diagnosis. She might require, complete blood checking with ESR, X-ray chest, 3 Montoux test. Upper respiratory tract infection like pneumonitis and primary complex should be ruled out. consult pediatrician and discuss about this. Ok and take care.
