dear doctors and mom's please answer my question. my son is now 4yrs old, in these 4yrs almost every 3months he was getting cold and cough, due to this he started using moufor breathing, cough is terrible all the time, he suffers alot during nights. he doesn't eat sweets chocolate and outside food but still. imagine how much cough and cold syrup he had so far. is this normal when we meet Paediatric doctor just giving medicines for cold and cough but not getting exact reason for reoccurring these problem. should we contact ENT or pulmonologist?

A. it may be allergic cough and cold. temperature variations may be causing trigger. it appears to be allergic cough/cold. they can be associated with temperature variations around the body (hot to cold or cold to hot environmental changes) which the body cannot sustain leading to cough usually at evening /night and morning. requires examination and start anti allergic medicines. meet dr and prevent such temperature variations. there is a possibility of starting anti allergic medicines for at least one month and the doctor will decide if the child needs inhaler therapy or nebulization. when allergies are not controlled they can lead to intermittent respiratory infections which needs other medicine
