My son 1 and half year old has a recurrent fever, cold & cough. our doctor recommends her every time Syrup of Etofyline and Theophyline . I want to know does it have any side effects in long term to my child or do you recommend same. regards Andrew
Thank you for using Chat Doctor. Your son may have asthma/recurrent bronchitis which may be triggered by a viral insult (common with your sons age group). Your current medication are accepted as treatment for asthma/bronchitis, but there are newer medications which you can use like profiterole/albuterol. But you have to consult a doctor first in order to rule out other illness which causes the recurrent cough. Sincerely, Mark Rosario
