Suggest Remedy For Cold And Cough In A Child While On LC Tablet

Possibility of seasonal allergy is more.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sneezing, coughing in night are suggestive of allergic disease more.
And he is improving with montair LC kid. Montair LC is having levocetrizine and montelukast. Montelukast is anti allergic drug. Levocetrizine is antihistamine drug. Both are used in allergic conditions.
Since he is improving with montair LC, possibility of allergic disease is more in his case.
Seasonal allergy in winters is also common.
He is having only night time symptoms. So possibility of allergy to bed sheets, pillow covers or blankets etc is there.
So please let me know
1. Is having symptoms this year only?
2. Is he having symptoms in every winters?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.


Has he ever undergone blood reports?
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, he is mostly having allergic cough.
And to confirm this we need to get done complete blood count (fir absolute eosinophil count) and serum IgE level.
If any of these is raised then he is confirmed to have allergic disease.
Best treatment of allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it. Common allergens are dust, pollens, mites, animal fur, smoke etc. Cold weather and wind can also trigger allergy. So better to avoid air conditioning.
No harm in bathing. So tell your wife to bath him properly.
Please let me know if these investigations are done or not.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
