Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Kindly elaborate your problem. Was she admitted to the hospital due to respiratory tract infection? If yes, then please provide a detailed history like is there any history of allergy or asthma in the family? How many times she has been given oxygen in the hospital? Was she delivered vaginally or through c-section? Was she admitted ever in NICU or given oxygen?

I would recommend starting home remedies like one teaspoon honey in lukewarm water daily especially when having a cough and cold. Avoid cold drinks, icecreams, sour and cold foods, candies and ketchup. Start montelukast sachet once at night for two months at least along with some good anti-allergic if there is a family history of allergies and asthma.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Musfirah Tahir
