Each time my 23mo gets a cold, his cough lingers for weeks! otherwise he's fine. what's up with that? i don't think he has asthma. mild allergies.

Asthma it is: A lingering cough after a cold can be asthma and it is best treated with inhalers, but it can also be from post nasal drip, consult an allergist to check the allergies and treat the symptoms.

Post viral cough: Usually viral illnesses may last 7-10 days. If he has allergies, he is more prone to wheeze. Your physician may give him an inhaler for his post viral cough to see if it helps. PRMG/pediatrics fax 8582599689 for?s
