[|Human|] My son is 5.  For the past few months he has had a reacurring cough and it sometimes turns into a cold.   The cough just doesnt seem to go away.  He says he feels fine and doesnt feel sick when I ask but he is always coughing.  He is also congested. Sneezing and a runny nose. I am very worried but have no insurence at the momment and cant afford to go see a doctor
[|AI|]  HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor He likely has rhinosinusitis due to allergies (most common cause) with possible intermittent episodes of worsening due to becoming sick with the cold. Rhinosinusitis is inflammation of the nasal passages and sinuses. It would be associated with the symptoms that you are describing. The treatment would be: (1) avoidance of the source of the allergies if known. Different possible sources such as dust, food, pollen, animals(2)using topical steroid nasal sprays such as alone, escort, Flonase(3)use of oral antihistamines hope this helps
