Hi My son is of one year now. When he was of two month he got admitted in hospital due to cold and cough reason. After that he frequently had cold and cough and sometimes wheezing problems. Since than doctor prescribed Levolin repsules and sometimes budesal repsules with deriphyllin syrup. Please suggest, is it safe to give him nebulisation frequently and is it bronchial asthma?
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Greetings from Chennai. By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does she cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever? If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing, and I suggest you meet a pediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.
