Question 3

my daughter who is 3.5 years old have cough problem for one month now. she started coughing more on early morning. we use asthalin inhaler some times.

Accepted Answer

I think you nailed: the problem...using her inhaler only "sometimes". Asthma is a chronic condition with acute exacerbations. There are medications for maintenance of clear, open airways &amp; medicines to use when airway spasm &amp; inflammation occur. Your pediatrician may chose to manage your daughter's asthma or refer her to a Pediatric Allergist/Immunologist or Pediatric Pulmonologist, if if proves difficult to control.

Question 9

my baby is 1 year old. is it safe to give him salbutamol for cough without consulting his pedia. that was his cough medicine before. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Talk to pediatrician: Never administer any drug to a child without the expressed and learned opinion of your pediatrician. We don't know if the old bottle of cough medicine you have  on-hand has expired, if its the right drug for your child's current condition, nor can we calculate appropriate weight-based dosing (I'm sure the child has grown since he was a baby).

Question 10

my 5 yo has dry cough and we consult with paediatrician and gave asthalin&briolite for a week n then cheston, azicop, omnacortil for a week n now giving levalon and chericof after consulting with pulmonologist but no improvement. is there any concern?

Accepted Answer

: The cause of the cough should be determined. Avoid smoke and allergic triggers such as dust,mold,pet dander and pollen. A chest image and pulmonary testing may be indicated. Are there signs of fever, shortness of breath or worsening with activity? Keep nasal passages clear and consider a Telemedicine consult with Health tap. A COVID 19 screening test is indicated.
