My 5 year old son has been coughing for a month. I ve taken him to the doctor twice. The first time he had an ear infection and was given medicine for 10 days. He has continued to cough the entire time. His cough is a loose cough and gets worse in the evening and especially at night. He coughs all through the night. He coughs so much that he nearly throws up. We have tried breathing treatment and cough syrup with no luck. What should I do now???
As you have mentioned in your history that your son has been coughing since month and gets worse in night, first I would suggest you to go for manitou test or chest x-ray to rule out the possibility of tuberculosis as his symptoms are quite related to TB. Secondly, for his current problems you can give him syrup co-amoxiclav 5 ml three times daily or syrup cefixime-cv 5 ml twice daily along with syrup febrex-plus or syrup tusked 5 ml three times daily with syrup vomiting or syrup ondansetron 5 ml twice daily for vomiting. You can also nebulize your son with albuterol nebulizer at your family doctors clinic as it gives too mucChatDoctorfort to your child.
