Hello Dr Santosh, My 25 month old daughter catches coomon cold very frequently. Once in 45-60 days and each time we have to nebulize her with levolin and budecort as she starts wheezing. Can i do anything to reduce this ? Is it ok to use nebuliser so frequently ? why is it becoming so common in today s children ?
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Viral infection like cold or Allergic rhinitis may trigger an attack of wheezing. Ebastine syrup may prevent Allergic rhinitis. Montalir LC kid (montelukast and levocetrizine) daily for a few days prevents wheezing. You may try these things to decrease frequency of wheezing. Avoid triggers if you have identified any. Hope this answer will serve your purposeless feel free to ask any more queries if requiredTake care Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam MD;Disassociate professor of pediatrics
