<human>: Hello sir,I have a 9month old baby,he very frequently gets congested chest and coughs with breathing difficulty while feeding,doctor usually prescribes an anti allergic syrup along with nubiliser( saline solution and atem) to clear out the congestion,along with some antibiotics...he gets fine after the treatment but gets hit again after a few days.the only time he was fine was when he took myteka for 2months..so if I want to give him myteka for how long can he continue to have it?
<bot>: Hi...it could be viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -Questions:1. How many days per month does he cough or feel breathless?2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?3. Does he feel breathless when he is active?4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?6. Is the cough always associated with fever? Kindly get back to me with the answers and I will try to guide you. I don't thing removing tonsils is a solution for this problem. Moreover, a kid less than 5 years cannot be labelled as asthmatic....9 months is too early. No point in using Meters (Montelukast) alone without proper assessment of symptom severity.
