But when v reminded him abt d dosage taken 3 weeks back he changed and gave cepodem..but my son didnt like cepodem and vomited immediately... Wanted to know whether v can give azithral 200 itself..  <response>: Hi... Greetings form Chennai...this recurrent cough and cold could be a recurrent wheeze too. No point in using antibiotics for every cough and cold. These are mainly allergic and not infectious and antibiotics are not going to help. 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. No point in using antibiotics every time. It will do more harm than good by increasing bacterial resistance.
