Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My 4-year-old daughter has a lingering cough for the past two months. Is it true that if the child is not dewormed, symptoms of a cough and wheezing persist?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Always it is advisable that the child is dewormed every six months. Bandy-Plus (Ivermectin and Albendazole) once in the night after meals. Since the child is having a cough for two months, it is advisable to have an X-ray of the chest. Does your child have a history of fever or breathlessness? If present, it will require evaluation. Review after two days.
For more information consult a pediatrician online.
