My son 4 1/2 suddenly started coughing in the late afternoon and by the night his coughing has a resonating sound. Should I give him a Benadryl cough syrup or should I visit the pediatrician? He was earlier diagnosed with allergic Asthma ...in the starting of fall and was given Amoxycillin and an Albutrol puff. As it is a Sunday here ...should I start giving him the same puff... Please advise
Hi I do not understand the term resonating cough. Since you say he was diagnosed with asthma before, it's likely that he has one such episode now. You have not mentioned any fever, which too favors asthma. Till you meet your pediatrician, there is no harm in giving Albuterol puffs in the same dosage recommended to you for the previous episode. Do visit your doctor when it is possible. Hope you find my answer useful.
