Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi

Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms of your child and his response to the medications you mentioned are suggestive of childhood asthma. Don't worry as it's an easily treatable condition.

The most important part of therapy is clinical assessment to categorise and there after regular preventer therapy. The preventer therapy includes Budecot or Foracort metered dose inhalers( MDI), salmeterol, formetrol, montelukast etc.

I usually start my patients with mild to moderate asthma on budecort MDI twice daily. Thereafter if the child remains significantly symptomatic, the. The dose is accordingly increased. Also, the growth, BP, Calcium metabolites are monitored.

I would recommend you strongly to meet an expert pediatrician and discuss your child's case for proper treatment.

Hopefully this will be of help.

Take care
