Frequent Cough in 5 year old
Hello Doctors,
My daughter is 5 year old and she is getting cough almost every month from the time she has started going to school (2 years). And she'll be coughing for 10 - 15 days even after giving medicine (cough syrups) prescribed by doctor and no proper sleep in the night. Sometimes she complaints of pain near chest. And her weight is not gaining because of frequent cough.
What is the cause for this and when it will reduce ? Any tests need to be done?
Please suggest what else I can do to help her get better.
Thanks in advance
