Frequent cough since a year.

2018-02-10 01:57:33
Hello Doctor, My son is 2.8yr old. He is continuously having cough since a year. It comes and goes. It is very severe. Have shown him to many doctors but no use. He keeps coughing. It subsides when i use antibiotics but that is only for a week. Again it comes back. No one was able to diagnose properly. Pls suggest us some good treatment Thanks in advance

Cough is a reaction from our body to reject ,throw,eliminate or expel something not acceptable to our system.Having recurring cough for a year is certainly a point of concern .It requires detailed history ,examination & investigation.
