Is Giving Motair LC Kid And Septilin Advisable For Chronic Cough In A Child?
My doctor who is 10 years old has been suffering from allergic cough For the past 3 years we have been giving her Fudecort puff 2 puffs at night and Singular 10 mg Every one month still she gets severe bouts of cough which is continuous. Then she is put on nebuliser. Recently took her to another doctor who has asked me stop Fudecort since it is not wheezing but allergic cough and put her on Montair LC kid and Septalin. She has got her tonsils and adenoids removed

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of chronic cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and common flu like allergic reaction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as you should take cough expectorants. Taking Motair LC kid and Septilin is safe to use. You should take anti inflammatory medication such as Levocetirizine. Visit Pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood test done. You should get an x ray of the chest and pulmonary function tests done as well. You should use throat lozenges and go rinses with warm saline water. You should Chew a Vitamin C pellet.Take diet rich in vitamin B12. You should take antibiotics such as Levofloxacin or Azithromycin for 5-7 days. Take decongestants and mucolytic agents. Avoid cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
