Pediatrician 's  Response
There are other reasons for repeated chest infection or repeated chest symptoms, first we have to establish whether it is infection or not. It could be allergy, like asthma. Do you have a family history of asthma or hay fever. Was she ever suggested inhalers by doctor? did it help?
It is better to get a diagnosis before starting any medication. Consult a baby doctor and get diagnosis. Other problems could be foreign body or cystic fibrosis.
