2017-06-14 17:44:18
My son is 5 years old. He has been having constant cough and weasing. Doctor has adviced for Spirometry test. I don't understand why this test has to be done. I also don't know where should I get it done as I had called one Clinic which told me that this test should be conducted on children of more than 7 yrs of age. Kindly help.
