What Could Chronic Cough After Undergoing Dental Ionomeres Filling Indicate?
my son has been coughing for 3 months now, right after his dental visit. He had 2 glass ionomeres filling that release fluoride. He is only 5yrs old and I am so worried. We've seen his doctor 4 time regarding this and still can't find out what causes it.

Thank you for following up. It seems he has allergic cough. I suggest-
1.Hypoallergenic diet-avoid chocolate, nuts, flavours food,strawberry,honey, lots sweets and etc.
2.Antihistamines(Cetrizin, Allegra) can be used according to age for 10 days.
3.Ambroxol 2 mg/kg/day, divided for 2 times for 5 days
4.Check blood test,do throat culture and sensitivity to antibiotics.
5.Steam inhalations
6.Rince gurgle with Chlorhexidine.
7.Zincovit 1 tablet for 1 month.
8.Charcoal 1 tab/10 kg for absorption of allergens
Take care
