Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Ventorlin is having levosalbutamol. It is short acting bronchodilator.
Paracetamol is anti inflammatory drug.
So this treatment is appropriate for acute bronchitis.
Usually this resolve in 1-2 weeks.
So give him Ventorlin and paracetamol for 1 week. He will mostly improve.
But if is not improving then consult pulmonologist to rule out asthma.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
