What causes a cough in a 6-year-old child

Patient's question:

6-year-old child with dry cough for 6 months, slightly milder in summer. Hospital examination: Immunoglobulin E 584.

Doctor's answer:

If a child's cough is intermittent, ineffective with antibiotics, accompanied by a sore throat without fever, and worsened by cold air or smoke, along with symptoms like sleeping in a prone position, excessive sweating, restless sleep, snoring, and normal results from X-rays or related tests, then your child may have allergic bronchitis or adenoid hypertrophy. It is recommended that you have your child tested for allergens, undergo desensitization, and eliminate respiratory allergic inflammation, as this can be treated effectively.
