Question: my son is 6 years old, he had a dry cough for almost 20 days and after that he developed new problem, i.e. during night in deep sleep he has been having cough once and during that period he is having problem in taking breadth, so doctor prescribed levolin, codylex, montaire and budecort 200 mcg rotacap. After using these medicines for about 20 days he is still not completely ok, so what should I do?
Brief Answer:
asthmatic bronchitis with infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
History suggest that the child is suffering with allergic/asthmatic bronchitis.
Such entities can be tackled with bronchodiltors like levolin/salbutamol, antihistaminic and decongestant.
Miontair helps in reducing the recurrences and reduce the duration of symptoms
Since the problem is for some long time then one should think of some added infective pathology.
For this one should also add relevant antibiotic, just to clear the symptoms producing elements and preventing things becoming more worse.
Nebulization with budicort and duolin 4 to 6 hourly should also help in relieving the symptoms.
Avoid allergens (allergy causing elements ) like dust, fumes ,pets,pollen grains etc.
Use vacuum cleaners to suck these.
Avoid cold producing eatables like colddrinks, icecreams, shakes etc.
Hope the query is answered.Please feel free for further clarification.
thanks
