Patient's question:
For most of the year, I have been coughing, just a bit worse in winter and a bit better in summer. When I'm feeling better, I only cough in the morning; at other times, I don't cough. When I'm not feeling well, I can cough all through the winter. IV drips, medications, and all sorts of treatments don't seem to help much.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of your child's condition, they exhibit recurrent cough symptoms, with symptoms worsening at night, which are likely caused by cough-variant asthma.It is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough evaluation, including pulmonary function tests and bronchodilator tests, to confirm the diagnosis. If it is cough-variant asthma, treatments such as Symbicort, Montelukast sodium, and Chlorpheniramine can be used.
