hi dr santosh my name is elizabeth and i have a child who is 3years+ and she is having some seroius sickness which i am not sure about my child is sick right now and is wheezing alot and i took her to the doctor and was given Asthalin syrup i want to know if my child have asthma
Child of this age group can have wheezing when they get common cold or viral upper respiratory infections. If there is a history of allergies, eczema (dry skin) or previous episodes of wheezing, family history of asthma/allergy in 1st degree relation there is a chance then she may develop asthma. Child of 3 yrs have other reasons for wheezing, so we do not diagnose asthma unless if she meets the above criteria. If she develops wheezing, best way to treat is to use Asthalin as a Inhaler with a Spacer device and face mask (Zerostat+Mask). If she is having frequent episodes it is best to add a steroid based inhaler on daily basis (Becorite or Flohale 50). Hope this clarified your query.
