Can Nasonex And Ambrodril-S Be Given To A Child For Difficulty In Breathing?
Brief Answer:
As outlined.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for a very clear history.
It is very clear that your son is suffering from enlarged adenoids.
Since he is a small child and the suffering is perennial ( round the year) he should be diagnosed and investigated accordingly.
I would advise the following: you may have to discuss this with the ENT Surgeon or his Pediatrician to give the correct dosage according to the weight and severity of the symptoms.
First of all get an X-ray of the nasopharynx in lateral position for soft tissues to see the extent of adenoid enlargement.
He needs an antibiotic, Decongestant, anti-inflammatory medicines and deflazacort in reducing and appropriate dosage.
Nasal Decongestant drops meant for pediatric patients started 4 times a day and gradually reduced over 3 to 4 weeks.
Vitamin A and D in appropriate therapeutic dosage and to be continued in the form of an anti-oxidant / multivitamin syrup.
People usually want to protect the child from the atmosphere, dust, earthly playgrounds, rains and all such most important exposures that are important to develop a natural resistance with the growing age. I hope you are getting my point.
This may help him the least or no such attacks in the future, the real natural and permanent cure.
I hope this helps you and your XXXXXXX

Thank you Doctor. Can you prescribe vitamin A and D syrup. Can we use nasonex very often whenever he has difficulty in breathing at night? We live in a cold place and rains are more. In mornings he has absolutely no problems in breathing. Is dry cough common at his age. We have no history of asthma in family. Please advice any alternatives instead of medicnes to cure his problem
Brief Answer:
as advised
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your appreciation.
please take help of your Doctor to get a prescription.
Nasonex is a steroidal spray which can be sprayed once in 24 hours. You can spray this in the evenings.
Dry cough is not common at this age. Coughing is not a disease, it is a symptom of some disease like adenoiditis in your Son's case.
Natural cure ::::

thank you so much doctor. your advice was valuable.it helped. one more thing I wanted to know please help. my son does potty every alternate day or two sometimes but not everyday. his stools looks normal in color.please advice if his is fine.
Brief Answer:
This is normal in this age group/ Bowel training
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your appreciation.
In this age group, potty once in a few days and few potty in one day are all normal.
With the proper bowel training and setting the body-clock properly he will definitely have potty everyday at a given time. You have to train him as much as possible. Do not force him.
If the color and consistency of the stool is normal, do not worry.
