Hello @kanaazpereira

Sorry to mention one more thing. His physician ruled out Asthma or pneumonia problems. We went more than 6 times in last 9 months and every time when Doctor checks with stethoscope, doctor mentioned he did not see any problem with lungs and no signs of Asthma or pneumonia problems.

So, in a summary, we are not able figure out the problem/reason for the cause which my kid is struggling from last 9 months.

@krishnareddy84 Hi, friend. I and my brother and sisters all have the same problem. Chronic cough. Mayo says it is from chronic eosinophilic esophagites and other eosinophil overload in trachea and esophagus and larynx. Ask your doc to order an assay of eosinophils. It is an autoimmune thing, and related to Barrett's Esophagus and Lung issues which will come on slowly. They will probably not show up for another 10 or 20 years on biopsy, etc. old karl.
