<human>: My 3 months old baby has been coughing for a week now, and he is also wheezing. I have seen two paed specialists. The first has prescribed ventamol 1.5ml/3 times a day. The coughing didn t go after 3 days, so we brought him to another specialist. He prescribed fedex 0.6ml and salmol expectorant 0.5ml. After 3 days, the cough is still there. My baby weighs 6.7kg now.What should i do? I m very worried.
<bot>: Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. Greetings from Chennai. By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having 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 playful or while feeding?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? If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing, and I suggest you meet a pediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.
