Suggest Treatment For Frequent Colds,snoring And Breathlessness In A Child
My daughter is 10 yrs old, she has frequent colds from childhood and since her 4th year she has heavy snoring, some times she feels breathless and some times feels disturbed sleep. Last year when she developed same symptoms even it accompanied with headache for almost 45 days with light swelling beside nose (under the eyes-sinus cavity). Doctor has suggested oxymetazoline hydrochloride nasal solution USP (0.05%) for a week, and then to use triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray for almost 3 months + montelukast & levocitrizine hyrochloride dispersible tablets also for 3 months. We have used for almost 3 months but problem still persists.
Please help me in my daughter's treatment and also advice me should i consult a pediatrician or a chest specialist.
Hi, Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic. It looks like allergic rhinitis. You may try ebastine syrup twice daily for 1-2 weeks. You have to exclude adenoids also. Better consult ENT specialist. Hope this answer is OK for you. Further questions invited. Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
