How Can Chronic Cough And Wheezing In An Infant Be Treated?
Hi my son is 3 months old. He is having very bad cough and wheezing. Doctor advised asthalin and budecort inhaler 2 days back, but still both his cough and wheezing increased. So doctor prescribed cortimax along with the inhalers. Is it safe to use the same at so young age.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is the drug of choice for children for lower respiratory tract infection. No need to panic. Just look for hurried breathing and decreased consumption of breast feed, in that case visit your paediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
