I'm really concerned about my 4-year-old daughter's cough. She's been having it repeatedly for the past 45 months. Sometimes it's dry and other times it's wet. It often happens in the middle of the night or early morning. We tried homeopathy, which helped a little for a while, but it didn't fix it permanently. Is there a chance for a permanent cure, or is it something not to worry too much about?
