Brief Answer:
needs continuous treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Recurrent wheezing at this age needs continued treatment with preventors.
Both flohale and budate.are preventors of different companies.
Either one can be used,but most importantly for 3 to 6 months continuesly.
This will treat her wheezing and prevent future attacks.
Levolin , salbair, asthalin are all temporary relievers, to be given only when there is wheezing.
But the first mentioned preventors should be taken daily as nebulisation or inhaler .
Montair lc will decrease allergies and very safe. So continue.
The other two syrups are just to improve her cold symptoms, can be given for 3 days.
Wishing your child speedy recovery
