My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.
