Suggest Treatment For Chest Congestion In A Child
Hi, My Daughter is 5yr old and is down with a bad chest cold. Doctor advised Duolin (5days)nd Budocart (10 days)along with Singular 5mg for a month. I was told by a friend of mine that duolin should not be given as nebulisation without adding saline to it. Could you help me know wat is the saline - duolin ratio if that is the method? Does Budocart need to be assisted with saline too?

Hi...if Budecort respules are being used then no need to add saline - By saline what we mean is normal saline (0.9%). But the Budecort respules need not be mixed with saline. You can directly nebulize them. By what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a Multitriggered wheeze or a Viral associated wheeze.
