Since the cough has lasted over a month despite using bronchodilators and montelukast, it is important to have your son re-evaluated by a paediatrician. A persistent cough can be caused by underlying issues like cough-variant asthma, environmental allergies, post-nasal drip, or a mild atypical infection. Rather than trying new over-the-counter medicines, the doctor may recommend diagnostic steps like a chest X-ray or allergy testing. Depending on the evaluation, they might consider alternative treatments such as inhaled corticosteroids or antihistamine nasal sprays. Please be reassured; chronic coughs are very common in children and highly treatable once the specific cause is identified.
