Hello dear,
Asthma is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages.
Management consists of:
1.
Asthalin inhaler- provide symptomatic relief by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
So, this can be used during an acute attack.
2.
Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of asthma. This will also give protection from recurrent
allergy.
3. Antihistamines like
Cetrizine can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
4. Need for anti biotics can arise if there is a secondary infection. But this should be taken only under the guidance of a Physician.
5. Steam inhalation & deep breathing exercises.
6. Maintain adequate hydration & a healthy balance diet.
7. Make sure that your son is well protected from exposure to cold, dust or other allergens.
Wishing him a good health.
Take care.
