Hi doctor , my son is 4 yrs 7 months old.He was absolutely fine before may 2014. Suddenly now a days he is having cough And spasom and wheezing. He is having budacot 100, 2 puff everyday morning. Dr prescribed him also montair Lc kid. But as a mother when I read the literature of this medicine I have stopped giving the medicine. It was written that The side effects are even suicidal thinking and suicide. I am very much worried about this recurring cough and wheeze and spasm, pls advice if there is any alternative to montair lc. The first attack had IGE at 594.24 iu/ml.
Your son has developed what is called intrinsic/allergic bronchitis. Symptoms that you have described are associated symptoms of the disease. This is reversible in a majority of cases. Stop deciding for the Doctor, what to give or what not to give. He is the best judge. As for alternative HomeopatChatDoctoredicines, You can try Ipecac 200,offhand,4 holy in pills. This has to be given within the first 48 hrs of the attack, before the mucus congestion starts. Better give it when the sneezing/watery discharge, slight cough sets in. We have to graduate to Higher and deeper medicines, which calls for elaborate history.PS, considering the age, you must take the opinion of a physician regarding condition of chest.
