Hello...
From what you have mentioned, it’s almost 1 month over now. I can understand your worries.
In this period most of child frequently suffer from cold,
cough etc,(Upper
Respiratory Tract Infection)
Most of times this is viral/ allergic and its self limiting.
Because of low immunity and low diseases resistant power child suffering from this.
You should get her evaluated once for her complaint to get her examined physically by a
pediatrician.
Indication of Nebulisation:
1. Child is Breathlessness
2. In Asthama/ Bronchiolitis
3. Having
wheezing, Crepitation
I would advice:
1. Avoid exposure to cold (cold make ciliary activity sluggish and hence the organisms tracking
down the airways cannot be swept out, making a progression to lower respiratory infection)
2. Keep your child warm (Wrapping with cotton cloth )
3. Stem inhalation with precaution.(Plain water do not add any decongestant like
vicks etc)
4. Try to increase his immune system with proper and regular diet.
5. Maintain hygiene.
6. Dont give more medicine
7. If she is not recover within 5 to 6 days you can consult again to your doctor.
8. Investigation- CBC and watch for eosinophilic count, WBC/TLC.CRP, X- Ray chest.
9. If necessary you can start antibiotic under pediatric supervision.
Thanks
I wish your baby recover soon.
