She has done a few courses of antibiotics over the years, taken several cough bottles, has been treated for asthma even though that wasn't the problem, had acupuncture done and seen a couple of alternative medicine guys but none of them can seem to stop this desperate cough.
I'm just wondering could she have an allergy to something associated with Christmas such as the tree or something else.
Has anyone any experience of something like this?
Mods, if I'm in the wrong forum move me, thanks.
