Re: unsure whats wrong

It would be sensible to go and see your GP to have your child reviewed. It could be a post viral cough which can be prolonged but it might be a symptoms of asthma and they may need to change inhalers. They can also assess whether there is any indication of aeroallergens causing the problem.
