<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Dear Doctor, My daughter is 11mths old now, She usually gets cough in every 1month , she was been diagnosed with asthma by one doc. But she is been prescribed with Monticope dosage 34 once in a day . She usually has a problem during the night and she cannot sleep due to continuous coughing. She also wheezes and it is like a whistle type sound when she breaths. Please suggest is this really asthma and do have to give her steroids for her teatment.  <response>: Dear Prensa... Wheezing is a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced during breathing due to bronchoconstriction obstruction of smaller airway passages which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages seasonal allergy or asthmaThe medicines suggested by your Doctor are correct. Monticope is Montelukast, used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies asthma by reducing bronchoconstriction. So...continue the medicines as suggested. Other than that...nebulization can provide symptomatic relief by causing bronchodilator dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction increasing airflow to lungsAntihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief from cold cough. So...it will be better to consult a Pediatrician for further management. There is no need to worry...she will be fine...just make sure that your child is well protected from the cold, dust other allergens. Wishing your daughter a good health and speedy recovery. Thanks Take care.
