[|Human|] My 5 year old daughter has had a dry, short, raspy cough for months now. She has been perfectly healthly otherwise. it sounds like when one has a hair tickling their throat. or a cat with a fur ball. It doesnt seem to bother her or slow her down, but it is always there. should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Seasonal coughs will clear with cough syrups containing Dextromethorphan and an anti histamine like cetirizine. When persisting for months one has to exclude whooping cough and even asthma. Better consult pediatrician. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
