A member asked:
My 5 yo son is having persistent dry cough for 3 months&have taken chest x-ray as pulmonologist suggested and he said all looks good.but he is still having dry cough and its not at all improving with steroids (omnacortil) or any medication. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. There are many possible conditions. Asthma that is not well controlled can present with a persistent dry cough. A pulmonary function test is often informative. Did he have an infection at the onset or any triggers that worsen the condition?
