What Medication Do You Recommend For My Toddler Who Has A Severe Cold And Breathing Difficulty?
Question: Hello doctor. My daughter is having severe cold. She is having breathing difficulty. Her age is 1 year 8 months. Please suggest her medication.
Brief Answer:
May need clinical examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
At this age it is very common for viral infections to present with severe cold cough and breathing problem. I usually add Ambroxol drops like Mucolote three times daily for a few days for such babies in my clinic. However if breathing problem is more better to get her examined by your pediatrician. She may need oxygen nebulization too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
