Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Dear Doctor, My daughter is 10yrs old and weights around 41kgs. Sge often gets cold, cough and wheezing problems. Doctor has diagnosed as childhood asthma after performing PFT and an blood test for allergy. He has prescribed a (inhaler) puff twice a day and anti-allergy drug. He told us she might need to continue this for long term may be two to three years or life long. As a parent I am worried as how to continue the medicines for such long period. Is there any alternative medicine or treatment to cure childhood asthma. Kindly help us. We would be grateful and thankful to your reply.
avoid allergen. if requered can go for allergy test and avoid recomanded allergen as far as posible. consult pumunologist and give recomanded treatment. if inhaler is recomanded then it should be used.keep watch on food and drinks and pet in house. with regular treatment and with growing age she will be alright.
