How to treat chronic cough. - #10629
A 6-year-old boy has been suffering from a chronic cough since November 2025. He had his tonsils and adenoids removed before the beginning of the cough. He also had grommets placed in his ears. ENT mentioned that the child's oesophagus or throat had been partly corroded by cough relief medicines.
