Suggest Treatment For Cough & Wheezing
Hi, My 4 months old son has had a cough cold and is wheezing since his 2nd lot of injections 2 months ago. I have been to see several doctors who have said he is fine . However his hands and feet turn a dusky purple colour when I lay him flat on his back and he also gets very restless and struggles to breath, this is causing him to have broken sleep at night please help!

hello
i would like to know the detailed history. Do you have family history of asthma or allergy? Another important question is that was he born through C-section? because they are more prone to allergies and recurrent wheezing.
i would recommend nebulization with salbutamol in episodes of wheezing (0.2 ml solution with 2ml 0.9% saline) 8 hourly for 2 weeks and give monteleukast sachet 4mg mixed in 1 ounce of luke warm water at night for 3 months . i hope this will help.
