Chronic cough: Health tap offers inbox consultations and you may upload his history chest x ray and lab results. He should have an imaging study of his chest. If he has a history of asthma or wheezing, try Albuterol inhaler as directed and then assess his response. Please follow up with your pediatrician. Monitor for fever and provide fluids.
