my babys life is being ruined by a cough

my baby has been coughing for 6mths now every single night apart from 2weeks recently however cough started back again. She took what we believed to be croupe at the beginning but it never went away coughing and vomitting words couldnt describe how badly she has been coughing most of the time, until she chokes herself. doctors treated asthma for mths unend then we seen a paedeatrician who said obviously its ot asthma if nothings working so he said it could be reflux with acid coming up the food pipe when she goes to sleep. he gave her losec which did stop the cough for 2 weeks but then it made her vomit so she took it up and bk coughing again!

so sorry to hear that .I would push for an earlier date.Have you tried to call the ENT yourself and explain your situation.Maybe they will be more helpful than the peds.

xrays done too, paeds have her on waiting list to see ENT doctor in 6mths +, its ok for them having their peaceful nights sleep but their not bothered that she has to do this for another 6mths before being seen. i have recently become a member of BUPA so hope this can push her date forward with private healthcare. dont have a lot to give but wud give my life to get this cleared up and start enjoying our little girl,

I think its time for some x-rays , blood work and a little more investigation that just trying this and that.It is not good for you or your baby to suffer like this.Maybe a second opinion is warranted as well.I hope you find some answers.I know they can be hard to come by theses days.Drs just like to treat and not solve.
