My daughter's continuous phlegm cough

2024-02-27 04:26:50
My daughter is suffering from continuous cough ( phlegm) and cold from past 4 years. Visited many doctors but nobody said anything unusual. But She is not gaining weight and when she runs she coughs like anything.  It is making me worry more. She is showing asthmatic symptoms. And She looks very weak. Not sure which doctor should I be visiting this time ENT or Pulmnologyst? I also want to get the TB test done for her. How can I get it done too? Please guide 🙏

You should consult a pediatrician or pulmonologist. It is likely to be asthma. You can get the TB test done at any good hospital, the basic screening can be done with just a sputum test and chest X-ray, which can be done anywhere. You can ask your pediatrician if he suspects TB to order the test for you, but it unlikely to be TB from this history.
