She has been on every kind of nebulizer and hand held inhaler known to man! and still coughing! We have been to ENT’s and Pulminologists [pulmonologists]. We found out she is allergic to peanuts and were gave allergy drops to use once a day. Still the Cough.. Then after about 4 years of being in and out of the hospital 2 or 3 times a year the pulminologist [pulmonologist] said we needed to have a bronchoscopy done. This showed that she had Branhamella Catarrhalias [catarrhalis]… She was given Cefdiner.. since then we have been on it and it helps alot but when we come off it we get the same cough again! Her pulminologist [pulmonologist] said that he may need to do another bronchoscopy and check for Cystic Fibrosis Which we are having a sweat test done tomorrow to check for the CF. Help, anyone been thru this to help me please. Comments
