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.
My 4 yr old daughter is suffering from cough and cold. as advised by doctor taking medicine like Taxim o and singuliar 4 get some relief but again suffering from same problem for last 1 and 1/2 months. When contacted to another doctor, he suggested mantoux test (8mm), chest X ray and Blood test (Hb%-11.6, ESR-60 and WBC 12800) and advised solonex 100 (1/2 tab once a day for 10 days) along with Taxim O, Coscopin Syp and Asthalin Syp. Is it Ok or is she suffering from TB? Doctor told us that there is a little problem in blood report and she will be OK.
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion such short duration symptoms are not or TB. but her ESR is raised which would be due to viral infection also, do not panic, let treatment continue and the doctor will repeat these tests and see if they have come to normal after treatment. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health. Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
