What Causes Persistent Cough With Phlegm In Infants?
Hi, a few months ago, my 11 month old baby had bronchiolitis. I don t even remember him having a fever. It s been almost 3 months & he has never recovered from the cough. Sometimes it s a very dry cough & then turns phlemy. Lately it s been just phlemy. His nose doesn t run, but he sneezes alot. Help !!!!!!

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 he cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does she feel breathless when plays?
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?
If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing and I suggest you meet a paediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
