How to stop your child's persistent cough

Photo: Courtesy

Dear Dr. Ombeva,

I need your help please. I have a two-year-old son who constantly has a cough. He has been on medication but it doesn’t seem to go away. Ever since he was born, I have given him Cod Liver Oil. The doctors we have seen say it may be an allergy but they can’t ascertain its cause. Of late, he coughs mostly at night and I am worried. Please assist. Your help is most appreciated. Mercy
