Suggest Treatment For Allergy And Wheezing In A Child
Hello sir/mam,
My daughter is 3 years old.
She was getting allergy Related wheezing once in 2 weeks.
But now she has continous wheezing for past 1 week and doctor advised to go for an x-ray.
X-ray report says Bilateral mild vascular congestion.
Blood report says eosinophil is 540
Wbc 10800.
Doctor said it's pneumonia and advised for antibiotics through I'VE.
Since we requested an alternative method he is giving taxim injections twice a day.
My concern is so far we have given 5 injections but our doctor says he will decide by tomorrow whether to withdraw injections and give syrups..
We are concerned whether we can give so many injections for 3 year old....moreover she has lost weight also.....please advise
Thank you
Swetha

Hello Mam,
I just read your query. As you have mentioned about pneumonia and your physician has started antibiotic I/V treatment. Antibiotic treatment always has a schedule whether it is given orally or through I/V line.
*So as per your question antibiotic through I/V line can be given to three years old as per disease's status and your treating doctor can decide it better because he is doing regular clinical examination.
* The loss of weight might be due to improper feeding because during sickness babies have tendency to refuse diet and they take less amount of food compare to normal.
* So complete the treatment and try to give baby more semi solid and liquid diet as it is easy to give and digest.
* I hope you find my answer helpful.
Thank you.
