Hi Cough more at night or early mornings suggests there is a wheeze. Wheeze happens when there is narrowing of the airways. Narrowing of the airways occurs due to spasm of the small muscles in the bronchus and also due to lot of inflammation. Medications like bricanyl act on the small muscles and help in opening up of the airways. The inflammation that happens can be tackled only with steroids- which is given as inhalation (seroflo etc) or orally (omnacortil). Since the episodes are frequent, medications like Montair or Seroflo are given to prevent such episodes. They are given for a minimum period of 3 months. Depending on the response they are given for 6 months to 1 year also. When ever medications like Seroflo are given, the technique should be right. It should be given with a spacer and mask and get the technique checked by your doctor. For the present episode please follow your doctor s advice. Nebulization and omnacortil for 5 days will help and are safe. Please speak to your doctor and restart her on Seroflo in the right technique. If it was the winters that have aggravated her symptoms, you may give it till the chill is gone. Minimum of 3 months is needed. You may also speak to your doctor regarding the use of Asthalin/ Levolin through the same spacer and mask than a nebulizer. It is much easier than nebulizer. If its the cough that is bothersome and not the running nose, the nasal spray can be stopped after discussion with your Doctor. If possible try to avoid exposure to triggering factors like cold air, sudden change of temperature, strong smells from perfumes/ agarbathis, smoke of any sort, house moulds, dust, pollen, fur toys, carpets, pet animals, cockroaches etc and what ever allergy detected on allergy tests. If Seroflo is given correctly for appropriate duration, there will be no need to give the other medications like bricanyl, asthalin often. Hope this answers your query. Best wishes.
