Chronic Cough

2017-09-19 20:46:00
Hi. My mother has been using the nebulizer for over a week now to reduce her asthma. But she tends to cough "a lot" during the day and very much during the night(every 5 minutes) and has had a week full of sleepless nights. Any reasons why nebulizer/nebulizing causes such chronic cough problems? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

She seems to be suffering from allergic airway disorder which may require treatment with anti Histamine medicines and steroid bronchodialator inhalers for long term benefits. Nebulization seems not be working to relieve your mothers condition and she may need to take steroid injections.
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
