cough.time for drs appt?

[griffalo2]

Hi.
This has probably been done before but when would you take dc to the doctors with a cough?
Ds is 6 and has had horrible tight cough for over a month.
Concerned because it just doesnt seem to be easing off and he screamed in pain tonight,holding the back of his head whilst coughing.
If i take him to the doctors are we just goin to be sent home within two minutes?
Hes on a preventer and reliever inhaler btw.
Please help

Over a month? Go to a Dr. Even if they do nothing it will reassure you.

To be coughing for over a month and to be in so much pain seems a very good reason to go and see your GP. Can he eat and drink or is that also very painful? Does he have fever?

Hes eating and drinking fine.hes not had a fever.just seems to get on with it during the day so ive not been too concerned.
Any idea what it could be?

Allergy?

Virus? Some are taking 8 weeks to shift.
A change with his inhaler meds?

Yes go to doc. Does he have a peak flow?

No he doesnt have a peak flow.i think he was too young last time we seen asthma nurse and have since changed surgeries.
Will make appt tomorrow
