Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my child 6y old (known asthmatic)-was on flixotide 50mcg inhaler for 15 months- I ,ve stopped inhaler for 4months -no more attacks.Now he is having cough during sleep for 5wks.Should i put him on flixotide or on ketotifen (mast cell stabilizer) Thanks
Thanks for the query As your child is having persistent type of bronchial asthma, he requires controller type of medication for quiet some times and may be for many months .A step down of such medicines is advisable only after going through the record/diary of his symptoms which you need to maintain. Stopping controller medicines (flixotide) without advice has resulted in recurrence of his symptoms and most likely he needs to be started on the same again.
