My child who is 4 years old has developed an episode of cough which persist for months since Mar 2010. Have visited numerous doctors. 1 doctor diagnosed her as bronchitis in Aug 2010 and still not recovered til now.

I am not sure what is the cause of the cough, could it be due to food allergy or is there something to do with her lung or toncil. I have since switched her cow milk to goat milk but there are still alot of cough with phlegm.

Hope you could kindly advice me on this.

Could be asthma, gerd, post nasal drip, allergies amongst other things.
You can see an ent and ask him to scope your child he can also do a croup series xray,
if your child has gerd the dr will be able to see that the upper airway may be narrowed because of that. Your child can even have cva which is cough variant asthma usually no wheezing. It can even be croup, if the cough is a dry cough almost like a bark.
These are some suggestions, hope you find answers.
