<bot>: Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your children history. For exact treatment, I would like to ask you a few more questions like - Does he have any other allergies (allergic rhinitis/atomic dermatitis)? How many times has he had wheezing in last one year? Does he have cough apart from wheezing? Is he able to be involved in sports and exercise like activities without any complaints? From your given history, I would suggest you as follows:1. Were I treating him, I would suggest him to use albuterol or levosalbutamol inhaler via metered dose inhaler with spacer device whenever he has wheezing.2. If he has to use above inhaler frequently (more than twice a week), I would suggest him taking regular montelukast for at least 3 months.3. If he has allergic rhinitis (nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal congestion, etc.), I would suggest treating with montelukast and levocetirizine.4. Please try to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. I would also suggest him a nutritive diet rich in vitamins and minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.).5. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing which will identify the substances causing him allergies and also how to avoid them.6. As you have asked about allergy specialist in Bangalore, I would like to inform you that there are many experienced allergists-immunologists in Bangalore. It is always desirable to find an allergist who is nearby to your residence and who is readily approachable. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Wish your son the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please fell free to ask at Chat Doctor. Thank you & Regards.
