Suffering From Cough And Wheezing. Prescribed With Aeroflux, Histatussin And Predcort. Tested Positive For Milk Allergy. Are The Medications Safe?

my son is suffering from coughing and wheezing on a weekly basis. his paeditrician keeps giving him the same drugs- aeroflux, histatussin, and predcort. but as soon as his meds are finished, the wheezing and coughing comes back, we tested him for milk allergies, and he tested positive, and has been on a milk free diet for three weeks. however, the coughing and wheezing continues. is it safe to give him histatussin so often?

Your son could be suffering from asthma. Instead of giving him oral steroids repeatedly nebulize him with levolin and budecort, give him a tablet of montair lc kid and give him seroflo 100 inhaler through a spacer twice a day. You have not mentioned his age. I`m sure these measures will help him.
