Hello doctor my son son 3 years 5 months old was suffering from cough from 2 months, he was on inhalers of budecort n levolin for one month, now cough is reduced. But not stopped completely, few days he has cough few days he does not have, like this on n off he is having cough. His paediatrician says it's allergic cough. Give inhaler if he has more cough or just leave it. I just want to no is there no permanent solution for this apart from inhalers. Usually till wat age does kids suffer like this with frequent cough n cold. And wat test we must take to confirm what cough is it, whether allergic or asthma.

You can't stop inhalers for adult or child if they have breathlessness asthma allergy etc. Do absolute eosinophil count do total serum ige and inform then continue nebulisers and mdi inhaler any doctor who says your child just has allergy or just bronchitis is doing a crime of not recognising your child's problems and diagnosis as asthma treat with mdi and continue for at least 5 years. Sometimes childhood asthma withers / goes away by 12 years of age and may come back in 40's.
