Severe cough

2017-04-20 01:33:11
My son coughs a lot and wheezes at times. So much that his chest hurts. Little phelgm also comes sometimes. No fever. More at nught. Our paediatric last year prescribed bro zedex (sos) and tixylix. He said my son will improve as he grows. Which to some extent is true, since he doesn't cough as frequently as he used to. But when he coughs it hurts him badly. What should I do

Hi. I understand your concerns. it is better to get a detailed examination done and also since he is six year old get a pulmonary function test done. Consult a pulmonologist for the same. it could be asthma or bronchitis.
