<s>[INST] My daughter is suffering from cough.  She will be normal and once she starts to cough it continuesfor half an hour. I have consulted many  Doctors and they advice cough medicines and this is contined from past 1 year. I am looking for a permanent solution .  I require expert guidance regarding this .Please advice and do the needful. [/INST] Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Your daughter is having chronic cough. So we should definitely rule out chronic lung infections (tuberculosis or fungal infection), asthma and bronchitis.So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma and bronchitis. She may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) depending on the reports.Don't worry, she will be alright. First diagnose and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks. </s>
