Yes please i have a 6 year old with asthma who coughs all the time at night its so bad they send her home from school. I have taken her to doctors hospitals one doctor said acid reflux but today i went to er they said they didnt see any signs of acid reflux.. Something is going on when you cough 22 hours out of 24 hours i just dont understand you know anything that might help?? Or even what it might be? Can asthma be the cause for this cough to be this bad and it has been going on for 2 weeks
HelloThanks for the query to Chat Doctor. Forum. I would come up with these possibilities for this severe cough, This includes.1 Asthmatic allergic bronchitis, I have noted in many patients that they develop severe bouts of cough due to some sort of allergy. You require most potent bronchodilator with steroid (for emergency) 2 This type of uninterrupted cough may be due to some foreign particle inhaled in airways (wind pipe or lungs) & impacted. Diagnosis can be confirmed by bronchoscopy .3 Cardiac asthma is one of the most prominent cause of such cough, but in this case it is the least possible cause, In my opinion consult a pulmonologist and get his opinion as mentioned above. Strong coffee & steam inhalation sometimes help in such cases Good luck.
