<human>: My 2 year old son is suffering from cold, running nose, little fever. The doctor said his is wheezing and has bronchitics. he has prescribed antibiotics and deriphyllin syrup. Need your advice on deriphyllin - I am not comfortable giving him deriphyllin.
<bot>: Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. It's difficult to see our loved one coughing and sick. Since your child has pulmonary wheeze along with respiratory tract infections as per your description, the following measures will be helpful:1. A short course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin or azithromycin for 5-7 days can be given.2. Antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine will help him in recovery and also help in sleep.3. Spy. Stalin or leveling are better and safer than deriphylline syrup. Just hold them if you find tremors or persistent tachycardia i.e. increased heart rate even at rest and afebrile state.4. Use of room humidifier and vapor rub will be helpful. If still the child doesn't respond well, you may contact me. Take care
