constant cough since September

[vacuuming]

Hi all. My dd started nursery in September and about a week in developed what we thought was a cold, but this has lingered since, at times worse, but always there. We''ve been to the GO a number of times, she had an antibiotic before Christmas, which worked for about 2 days, then back to the same again. I started her on zirtek on whim a few days ago and that has made some difference but is not a long term solution. anyone like to hazard a guess? asthma? allergies?

We can listen to your concerns, answer your questions and offer a sympathetic ear. ..."

Might be an idea to have a chat with one of their asthma nurses and then go back to GP to see if you can get to the bottom of the constant coughing.

Super advice, thank you very much. I contacted them and outlined the symptoms and they advised that I should get back to the GP as it sounds as if it probably is asthma. Thank you

Glad it was useful, fingers crossed all goes well for you and dd!
