Pediatrician - Pulmonologist
By yudelle2218 •
Is there a pediatrician-pulmonologist here in Doha? Or can anyone recommend a good pediatrician? Went to the doctor already but there’s no improvement, my child is still irritable because of her cough and couldn’t sleep well at night.
Same thing happened to my son. It is viral infection now days. Coughin during sleep is bcz of mucus through nasal passin to throat which trigger instense cough during sleeping. In my case, it was for almost more than a month. I took son everywhere but all in vain. Then i went to Sidra Emergency. They said chest is clear but there is congestion in the throat bcz of the mucus passin via nasal.
Only Amoxiciline suspension (Not Augmentine etc) was prescribed and with blessing of Allah, within 3 days his night sleep coughin went away.
I will ask you to take him to any emergency or just take amoxicilline from any pharmacy and give him for 5 days accordin to his age. I also gave him Prospan for cold & Flu three times a day along with that.
If less than one year, take him to emergency.
yudelle2218: You may try Hamad Pediatric Emergency Center or Mayo Clinic. The are several other clinics such as Naseem Al Rabeah on C Ring Road opposite Gulf Times that may be having a pediatrician. You can get the contact details through Google. Here is link that may be useful.

Having said that, as a parent who has gone through this stage, I suggest you wait a day or two and continue with the medications you may be currently using. Medicines take time to act. Usually, it takes some days before coughs to go away. I am sure that desire to drink cold water and juices during the hot days is very demanding especially for children. And this is important that you keep this under control with the child. Surely, I am just no one to be telling you of this.
