Hi.repeated history of cough in your child is pointing toward the diagnosis of episodic wheezing. Pertussis (whooping cough) if you don't treat child will cough for 3 months. If child is vaccinated for pertussis, unlikely whooping cough. Your child requires complete physical examination, chest X-ray. Child requires inhaled steroids and oral montelukast. If you are happy with my suggestion kindly rate me. Regards - Chat Doctor.
