my 11 month old baby has a cough and was prescribed sabutamol. she was also given an inhale which is to be sprayed in her face through a styrofoam cup. she still coughs alot after 5 days of medication and brings up a bit of food/tea when coughing.. what do i do?
Hi, Thanks and welcome to Chat Doctor. Couh since 5 days is really a matter of concern. Your history suggests that he may be suffering from spasmodic Cough due to asthma or whooping cough. Sabutamol through inhaler or nebulization may be continued. You may add steroids either orally or by inhalation. An antibiotic like erythromycin may help in case of whooping cough. Usually it takes a week to 10 days for relief. Hope this reply is OK for you. Please feel free to ask further queries if any. Chat Doctor. V. Subrahmanyam.
