My 8 month old baby has been suffering from acute cough running nose and had high fever initially .Her chest is densely congested and she is unable to sleep at night. She has completed a 7 day treatment of antibiotics but no improvement except that it controlled the fever .Nebulisation with asthalin has not been effective. The doctor has suggested ventrolin , azithral and omnacortil now with duolin nebulisation. Do these seem adequate and correct for an 8 month baby ?
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for posting your query at Chat Doctor.Comte treatment advice by your doctor is fine. Usually Antibiotics to be given for 4-7 days, as per that rule it can be stopped now. But Dublin nebulization it should be continued with omnacortil. Since it is 7 days old, it is advisable to get X-ray of chest done to rule out pneumonia or pneumonitis. Other reason of aggravating the condition could be the environmental factors like-dust, pollen, scented perfumes, talcum powder, strong fragrant toiletries. I advise you to keep your child away from these items. Hope my answer is informative to you. Wishing speedy recovery for your child. Your thank-you note is very much appreciated!!! With best wishes,
