A member asked:
Six year old coughing for a month sounds like he coughs stuff up but doc said try diff med and nothing works he said lungs are clear , he has no fever?

Further investigatio: After coughing for a month, he should have an x ray to rule out walking pneumonia, or possible foreign body ingestion. The idea of asthma should also be entertained. See a pulmonologist or allergist.
