my 18 month old son has asthma but also keeps getting chest infections, at the moment he has a nasty cough which he is coughing up a froth like liquid (smells a little like vomit but doesnt look like it) what could it be? he   cant sleep,hes crying when he coughs, his appetite poor and several dirty nappies a day. he had bronchitis at 3 month old and a chest xray last week wqhicChatDoctore back clear, im confused with the clear chest but the constant cough
Hi, constant coughing with mild expectorants in kids can be due to acute pharyngitis, acute bronchitis, pertussis, sinusitis, flu etc. If he is also having asthma as stated by u then he should be given oral-syrup antibiotics with other supportive treatment immediately. For that u take him to pediatric doctor and get investigated first by all routine blood tests and don't relay only on chest x-ray despite its normal.
