my daughter has had a bad cough, took her to Dr after about a week of it and they gave her strep test (negative) and gave her antibiotic for sinus infection. Well its been another 3 weeks and cough hasn t gone away she also has a lump in her armpit that she says is painful
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Your daughter is having chronic cough (not responding to the routine antibiotics). She is also having enlarged axillary lymph nodes. All these suggest lower respiratory tract infection (LETI) more. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and Chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is needed for the diagnosis of LETI. If infection is there then she needs higher antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine Chat Doctor.  Don't wait at home, consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Don't worry, she will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
