My 2-year-old son was born with an ear pit in his left ear, and it's gotten infected. We've already gone through a 2-week course of antibiotics and used topical ointments, but there's been no change. What should be our next step?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Chronic coughing and allergy issues can be frustrating!

Given your history and current treatment, consider the following:

1. *Inhaler usage*: Continue using the inhaler as prescribed, as it may take some time to show its full effect.
2. *Coughing persistence*: Discuss with your doctor the possibility of an underlying condition, such as:
    - Asthma
    - Chronic bronchitis
    - Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
3. *Additional testing*: Your doctor may recommend further tests, such as:
    - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
    - Allergy testing (e.g., skin prick test)
    - Endoscopy or bronchoscopy
4. *Treatment adjustment*: Based on your doctor's evaluation, they may adjust your treatment plan, including:
    - Changing or adding medications
    - Increasing or decreasing inhaler dosage
    - Recommending lifestyle changes (e.g., avoiding allergens, quitting smoking)

Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor to discuss your progress and any concerns.
