My child is 2 years old. he is having breathing difficulty, wheezing sound when he got severe cough. doctor prescribed antibiotic medicine & nebulised twice a day for 1-2 days.since his birth it happened three times. Doctor told me it s child Asthma which gets cured after 6 years. is it true? what are the treatment to cure it permanently?
Hi, First, don't label your child as asthma. Asthma is not diagnosed under 6 years of age. What your child is having is viral triggered wheezing. It could be that even a simple viral infection will trigger wheezing. To start the child on intermittent metered dose inhaler with Leveling puff for 3 days every time he is getting wheeze. If without cold child is getting cough and fast breathing he requires inhaled steroids. Please go to a proper pediatrician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
