[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6 year old DC has had a constant dry cough for several weeks. Coughs all day, multiple times per minute, but not when sleeping at night. No other symptoms and hasn't been sick. Doctor thinks it is "habit cough" which is like a tic cough. I have read that a certain type of behavioral therapy can help but no idea where to go for this. Would love any insight from anyone that has experienced this. [/quote] Experienced parent here. It started when tonsils were too big. It cobtinued when tonsils were removed because of either habit or scar from tonsils. It passed as child had enough growth spurts that it no longer tickled his throat. The worst thing is too draw child's attention to it. As for me, I personally had such a cough myself as a kid that I too outgrew. So it helped me to have compassion on my own child about it. Good luck.[/quote]
