My 4 month old has been hoarse/raspy for a week and a half. He has a runny nose (clear discharge) and had been developing a mild cough. No fever. His doctor said Monday that it is allergies, but he just woke up with a deeper, raspier, almost barky cough. His breathing is almost wheezy at times. Should I be concerned?
Hi Dear Welcome to the Chat Doctor, Child is suffering with RTI with some respiratory difficulty. For the symptoms he can be given antihistamines decongestant Chat Doctor. Bronchodilators like albuterol is also requires because of the Resp difficulty. Frequent Nebulization with bronchodilators and steroids like budesonide may also be required along with oral antibiotics. These all to be started along with the supervision of your pediatrician that too urgently.Self-medication to be avoided here. Hope the query is answered. Thanks
