Child cough in evening
My 3 year old son has regular cough and wheezing sound in evening and night time.sometimes it increases and sometimes it decreases.but it does not happen or is negligible during daytime. It also doesn't affect his sleep as such.
I have consulted paediatrician 2-3 times then they prescribe some cough syrup for allergy and it goes away but it returns after discontinuation of syrup.
Though my son is very lively and active .this cough doesn't reduce his liveliness and activeness. But is it early early symptom of asthma or bronchitis ? As my wife has bronchitis problem. What type of specialist should I consult for permanent solution?
