A member asked:
My 14 mnths since born, sweats hvily when asleep or eating. rcntly i ntced her short breath and constnt cough. xray ok. antibiotic didn't help. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Has anyone checked for CF or looked into a heart issue? If not, i would recommend both. Other issues can also cause a persistent cough that are not infectious like vascular rings, sling around the trachea or cardiac malformations. X rays will not often pick these issues up. See you pediatrician again and ask these questions.
