Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son who is now 4years old has been suffering from recurrent bronchitis and chest congestion from last 3 years.I hardly remember anytime he has ever been free of cold and cough for even a month. We have consulted almost every good doctor and still we do not see any particular change is his condition. Normally it all begins with running nose and then we start giving him Relent syrup. But after few days he starts getting cough and cough to the extent that he sometimes vomits out whatever he has eaten. Soon after couple of days it aggravates into severe bouts of coughing like old man day and night. As suggested by doctor we keep giving him BUDESAL 0.5 mg respules (nebulization) every 6 hours day and night. When we touch his chest we can feel the congestion during his breathing. We are now very depresssed and concerned about his health.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Please do not worry. Asthma and bronchitis are very common in kids nowadays. If you do not have family history of asthma, he may get over from this as he grows.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
