What Causes My Daughter S Persistent Cough?
Hi Doctor, My daughter she is 28 months old and is suffering from reoccuring cough. I also took her to an allergist and he prescribed me flovent the inhaler 2 times daily and then if the cough is worse he asked me to her the steriod (prednisolone). I don t thing they have given a proper medication and also I think her problem is something else and needs to be diagonsed more. Please help me to where should i take her to which specialist.

Hi,
Persistent or recurring cough in this can be from many causes like allergy, reflex disease, or infections like bronchitis/tuberculosis. We can diagnose this based on the type and timing of cough, associated symptoms, family history and few tests. A pediatrician will be good for initial evaluation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
