Brief Answer:
try monteluekast
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
As mentioned by you sneezing followed by fever and then cough indicates an allergic reaction in the body.
Infection starts with fever while allergy starts with sneezing.
I usually prescribe monteluekast at 4 mg daily at night for a month for such babies to decrease allergic reaction.
Also enquire about allergy skin testing with your doctor to identify the trigger factors.
Once identified they can be avoided which will help her better.
If cough does not improve despite nebulisations you need to take her to your doctor. Nebulisations without oxygen will not help and is not recommended. It should be ideally given in a hospital with oxygen.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
