Brief Answer:
relax,there is nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand your concern.
As per symptoms mentioned by you,your kids are having frequent respiratory
infections which is mostly viral or allergic in nature.
It is common for young children up to age 5 to 6 to have repeated infections as
their immunity is slowly building up .
This time they are having running nose with cough and difficulty in breathing.
I suggest you to give some decongestant with anti allergic preparation.
If such a patient will come to my clinic I will give syrup T minic 5ml three times a
day for 3 days and saline nasal drops to be used during sleep.
Steam inhalation is also very helpful.
Montelukast with levocetrizine is totally safe and is given in allergic broncitis.
Your pediatrician must be suspecting allergic nature of disease.
Most important is to maintain proper nutrition.
-give plenty of fluids,warm water will be soothing.
-give nutritious home made diet.
-avoid all kind of junk foods.
complete immunization as per schedule.
Hope I have answered your question,if you have any further query I would be glad to help.
Wishing your children good health,
God bless....
