Recurrent coughs
I am observing that over the last 5 years my younger kid has had recurrent cough instances. What starts with cough converts into cold, running nose. These instances reoccur over a period of 2-3 months. He wakes up with cough. Sometimes he coughs at night but it isn't period. Dry Cough converts mostly into a chest infect with Phelgm and Cold.
Why is the kid only getting infected with Cough? Are there any specific tests to perform the lung test to identify the root cause?
