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.
Child Prescribed Flohale, Asthaline, Antibiotic For Wheezing. New Doctor Prescribed Omnacortil, Ventryl, Nexonex. Safe Medicine?
My Son is 4 year and 11 months old, he had moderate whizzing on Nov 2nd and we consulted a doctor she prescribed Flohale inhaler 2 puff 2 times and asthaline 2 puffs as needed every 4 hour. We gave him Asthaline till 3rd and then reduced it to 2 puffs before bed time while continuing the Flohale as prescribed. She also gave him an antibiotic to be given for 7 days which we are continuing.
Now since this doctor was was far from where we live she advised to have hime recheck with someone closeby. The new doctor asked to stop everything we are giving and precribed Onmacortil syrup (5ml x3 for 5 days), Ventryl Syrup and Nexonex. What we have read and told before is one dose oral steroids is more than what he will take from Flohale one year treatment. And since his condition and whezzing is about 20-25% of what it was when the first doctor saw him, is it advisable to start the oral steroids?
dear madam thanks for the query since your son is improved with flohale and asthelin its better to continue same..oral steroids are usually prescribed only if symptoms are not reduced with inhaled steroids like flohale... thank you regards
