Suggest Medication For Wheezing And Bronchiolitis In An Infant
Hi my son is 5 months old. He is suffering from wheezing and bronchiolitis .Doc prescribed him coscopin + monticope + nebulize with salbair neb 2 ml + ipravent 1 ml and budotz 2 ml. By mistake I have given him ipravent 2 ml and budotz 1 ml along with salbair 3 times. Will there be any side effect. Now we have changed doc and he has prescribed some other medicine.
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Using 2 ml ipravent instead of 1 ml is not going to cause any major side effects except some irritability and sometimes tremors . Wheezing due to bronchiolitis usually responds poorly to nebulisation , it usually takes 5-7 days to resolve but you need to be alert as symptoms may worsen very rapidly sometimes . Keep a watch on respiratory distress , oral acceptance and activity of child . Take care of hydration by frequent feeding .
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Take care.
