What Is The Treatment For Persistent Cough?
My son is a 17 year old competitive runner. He has a been battling a cronic cough since Dec23. Twice he was treated with antibiotics and predesolone for bronchitis. He also has asmanex twistinhaler to use daily and xopenex HFA to use before races. Hydrocodan syrup does not stop the 2 1/2 hour coughing fits at night. The pediatric pulmonolgists seem to be impressed with his incrdible lung capacity. I think they are suited to seeing young asmasuffers though. No one is sleeping. He has a National running event in 2 weeks.Help.I don't know where to turn.
