Hi everyone looking for some advise & reassurance please. DD is 7 has had mild hives a few years ago nothing really come from it.. mild dermatitis which is now under control. Has had a dry cough for 5 weeks no other symptoms absolutely fine in herself but coughing throughout the day & worse at night & in the morning (sounds like asthma I know) not getting any worse but also not getting better.. been doc twice chest is clear oxygen is fine last doc gave Salamol? Blue inhaler morning & night has done nothing. I suffer from terrible health anxiety & not sure if I should worry or not? Is 5 weeks a long time? Scared to give pirioton but have done absolutely everything else to try shift it. Like I said absolutely fine still eating drinking toilet is normal not even a runny nose. Please advise.

I wouldn't worry too much at this stage. Sometimes after a virus a cough can take weeks to shift.

If you're in the South, the hot dry weather won't be helping.

Have you tried using an air purifier in your DD's bedroom just in case it helps?
