Can you give me some advise please. thank you.  <response>: Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your daughters history and both allergic and non-allergic causes are possible. My suggestions for your daughter will be as follows:1. Personally I would consider a combination of montelukast and levoceitirizine for at least 2-4 weeks depending upon response to her.2. I would like to know the dose of the Bu date. Also, I would like to review techniquedevice of giving Bu date to her. I guess you are nebulizing, its ok, but I would like to review technique of nebulization also.3. Once montelukast and levocetirizine can control symptoms, I would like to gradually reduce dose of Bu date.4. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will advise your daughter allergy testing, which will help you identify substances she may be allergic to.5. If any family member smokes, please at least advise himher not to smoke inside home, if heshe cannot quit smoking.6. Please try to keep your daughter away from exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.7. A nutritive diet rich in vitamins and minerals e.g., adequate fruits, green leafy vegetables and sprouted beans will also be helpful in a long run. Hope above answer will be helpful to you. Wish your daughter a quick recovery and the best of the health. Should you have any concern, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Regards.
