Please help, i don t know what else to do, his been having this kind of cough since nearly 2 months now
HiT hanks for your querulous history seems to me that your children asthma symptoms are not controlled well with forecourt only though you didn't mention the dose. If its 100 then it is to be stepped up to 200. Montelukast is to be added to the prevailing therapy. Buy a peak flow meter and maintain a peak-flow chart regularly. All these are to be done under guidance of a pulmonologist. During exacerbation what are doing for nebulization is absolutely normal. But you should consult pulmonologist for better asthma control and discuss the issues which I have mentioned here. You will be benefitted. Thank you.
