On Augmentin For Bilat Otitis Media. Wheezing With Productive Cough, Some Relief With Albuterol Inhaler
Our 8 year old daughter is on her 5th day of a 10 day course of augmentin for bilat otitis media following a recent strep infection. She has a h/o mild asthma, not requiring inhalers regularly. She has been wheezing with a productive cough for the past 4 days which is helped by her albuterol inhaler tid. We have also have been giving her qvar inhaled corticosteroid, 2 puffs bid. The concern is that she is still wheezing intermittently, though seems better. Should we take her back in to the doctor or finish the antibiotics?
Thanks for query on HCM. It is better to continue augmentin,it will be helpful to subside the infection. It has no effect on asthma. Continue inhaler treatment but according to me add antihistaminic like levocetrizine and montelucast to control the allergic episodes. Avoid cold drinks,ice creams,chocolates and oily,spicy food. Be careful during seasonal changes,avoid to go in smoky,dusty area. Keep in touch with your doctor.
