I don't really know what to do my 17 month old ds has had a cough since birth and to be honest not a day has passed when he has coughed what sounds like a congested cough.. i have been to see numerous doctors at my surgery and even saw a private doctor at the local hospital - basically he has had 5 chest infections since birth, but his cough never goes. he is happy and it doesnt seem to bother him, but i cant help feeling something must be making him cough - He has been diagnosed with a floppy larynx and has had a barium swallow test to rule out reflux and look at his lungs - all which were fine. He was then put on asthma pumps brown and blue, which have made no difference as he does not struggle to breathe.. I was told he would get better in the summer and so far still coughs like he smokes 20 a day!!! - Any advice or if anyone has got a LO with some similar be great to hear from you - thanks
