Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Ventrolin (salbutamol) and Montair LC kid are safe in a two and half year old child.
These medication is prescribed in children with cough which is associated with wheezing and allergy.
Nothing to worry and continue the medication as per the prescription of your pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

Dear user,
It seems that the doctor hasn't reached a diagnosis in your case and is trying all forms of treatment ... perhaps it would be wise to ask the doctor what he/she thinks is wrong with your baby, and why is he/she using different kinds of remedies.
At the same time, it is wise to remember that almost all medicines have some form of side effect or the other, and using medicines when they are not needed is mostly not justifiable. But, if indicated, one has to understand whether using them is more beneficial than the danger their side-effects may produce.
