Good evening Dr! My niece is 4 yrs old and has allergic asthma triggered by smoke and cold air. She has been prescribed wylosone 10 mg when the attack comes. She keeps coughing and is unable to sleep and even if she does sleep one can hear her breathing in the entire house- it is so loud. Recently there has been loss of hair also . Is it because of her medicine?
Hello, Long term use of Cyclone is definitely NOT recommended, and you must visit a Chest Physician for a complete asthma evaluation. A visit to the Allergist will also help in delineating the allergies and making sure avoidance strategies are in place. Asthalin or Leveling as required, Symbicort turbo haler and montelukast 4\u00a0mg at night is recommended as initial treatment, Regular peak flow diary, asthma evaluation with questionnaire is recommended every 3 months for now. Thanks.
