I have a neubulizer at home with prescribed medicine for it. they said it would be good to give her treatments and I have for 2 1/2 months but still has This cough. I feel as though they don't believe me. and when she has a fever she breaks out in hives. they put her on an antibiotics /steroids for the hives cause of the itching until they are gone. I did but then they come right back as soon as I stop giving it to her. then she is complaining of ear pain now, So it's back to the doctor. I don't know what to do or help the doctors understand what is going on help.

Hi,
From the history it seems that she requires some investigations to find out the cause of her chronic cough problem.
She requires,
1, complete blood checking like TC, DC, ESR,
2, X-ray chest,
3, Montoux test to rule out primary complex.
4, stool test for ova and cyst.
Many a time Eosinophilia does cause this type of chronic cough.
Consult pediatrician and discuss about these tests.
Ok and take care.
