Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 15 year old son has a very persistent cough that hurts his abdomen when he coughs he did vomit twice this morning. Temp is 101.3 and Chills one doctor on Monday said she thought bronchitis or phenomenon but then on Wednesday a different doctor said flu should I take him in again
Hello there I have read through your question and understand your concern. Persistent cough with low grade fever points towards a diagnosis of upper respiratory tract infection. The vomitting may be due to excessive coughing. I would advise you to take him to a physician and consider getting his Chest X Ray done. Also a physician can auscultate his chest to determine whether there is any congestion. If the cough persists or there is expectoration then he may require a course of antibiotics. Nebulization will also help to relieve his congestion. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
