My daughter had had a chronic dry cough for 6 months. At first we were told allergies. After a couple months on allergy meds, we were then told she could have a slight asthma problem. Now after 2 months, it seems the coughing has worsened and earlier tonight while looking at her throat there are petichae on her hard/soft palate and deep red veins on her tonsils. Any idea what to to do next? Thanks
I guess the information regarding Petechial and deep red veins on her tonsils has been conveyed to you by your doctor. These findings could be because of coughing itself. Chronic cough needs investigation i.e. blood tests and Chest x-ray. Based on the severity of symptoms, physical examination and these investigations, treatment can be initiated.  There is incomplete information regarding what asthma treatment has been tried so far? If doctor believes she may have asthma, she may experience ups and downs with her symptoms before getting better control. Doctor needs to see her regularly to adjust/add extra medicines for control of her symptoms.
