Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has been coughing on and off for about 50 days. She coughs more severely at night and less during the day. We went to a nearby hospital for a check-up, and her lungs and airways were found to be normal. I’m not sure what the cause could be?
Answer
Persistent cough in babies can often be caused by allergic cough. It is recommended to check for allergens and treat accordingly. You can give her cough syrup as needed and ensure she gets enough vitamin C. At the same time, avoid catching a cold.
