my daughter has been coughing for a week now, her sleep is disturbed because she coughs 3 -5 times at night while sleeping.. her cough sounds tight and with phlegm.. is it ok to nebulize her with duavent even she doesnt have asthma? and is it normal that her body temperature is at 37.3
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Constant coughing is commonly seen in bronchitis and pneumonia. So better first rule out pneumonia. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry about pneumonia. Possibility of bronchitis is more in her case. And bronchitis needs Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Duvet is having perfect combination of inhaled bronchodilators and ICS. So no harm in giving Duvet. And yes, temperature of 37.3 is normal. No need to worry about this. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
