Child Suffering From Morning Coughs. Suspecting Asthma Given Clenil & Ventolin. Other Suspected Allergy Gave Gave Ceretide And Rigix. Asthma Or Allergy?
dr. Sb I read ur MSG. Thank u soo much but I am really concerned. Actually he has these symptoms for past one year.. Now he only has bouts Imogen cough in the morning. No wheezing as such. Is it asthama or simple allergy I don't know. His father also has it . Once he gets up in the morning he coughs and takes it out then fine.my son also coughs so much that its difficult to send him to school in the morning. When he cums back he is fine. In the evening when I take him to doctors they say is chest is clear. Don't know what to do for the morning cough... Any reply in this regard will be really helpful.Just mentioning it here that one doctor said its step 3 asthama and gave clenil and ventolin inhaler 6 month program. The other said that its childhood allergy and gave ceretide and rigix for a month and follow up. Which one should I follow. Gave him ventolin puffs last night and clenil for the first time and he was better in the morning . Gave puffs again in the morning. But now read on clenil inhaler that not suitable for children. So got confused can I stop this treatment abruptly if its too heavy and not needed.And also is zatofen better or the above mentioned inhalers for a long term use

Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that your son might be having Allergic bronchitis.
Clenil & ventolin helps in dilatation of respiratory passages & reduces the inflammation.
Zatofen also provides relief but through a different mechanism.
The decision to use these medications should be taken only after a clinical examination.
Other than that:
1. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.
2. Also make sure that your child is well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.
Wishing him a good health.
Take care.
