How to stop my daughter's persistent dry cough?
My daughter is 9 years old and is suffering from a persistent dry cough, especially when she is sleeping. What can I do to stop her dry cough?

I think to be able to control or stop the cough one needs to find out the etiology of the cough. A nocturnal cough can have several causes. Two of the foremost reasons are asthma or gastroesophageal reflux disease. I would discuss this with her pediatrician and hopefully with a good discussion with your daughter and possible a few tests you can get to the source of the cough.
