Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your child's history and would like to know more details about Abhimanyu such as - Since when he has problems? Does he have more of nose symptoms or more of chest symptoms or both? Does he have any skin allergies like atopic dermatitis? Does he have any food intolerance/allergy?

From your given history, I would like to make following suggestions to your son:

1. Were I treating him, I would suggest him regular montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 2-3 months, which will improve his symptoms.

2. Should he develop breathing difficulty in between, I would suggest to consult a pediatrician who will examine his chest and may suggest nebulization.

3. I would suggest him allergy testing which will help you identify the substances/foods causing trouble to him. Avoidance of the substances/foods causing allergies is the best strategy for allergy/asthma.

4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution to him as much as possible. A diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will help him in a long run.

I would like to mention here that although asthma in parents make a child more prone to develop asthma, childhood asthma behaves in a different manner as compared to adult asthma. With proper use of medications, nutrition and environment changes, it can be very well controlled.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish your son the best of the health and bright future ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
