Hello dear, The sound originating from the throat of your daughter while sleeping is wheezing. It is caused due to bronchoconstriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma). Romilast L consists of Montelukast +Levocetirizine.1. Montelukast preparations are used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma2. Levocetirizine acts as an anti-allergy medication and provides symptomatic relief. So, the medicine as suggested by her Doctor is correct. Please continue it as advised. If symptoms still persist, she needs to take a cough expectorant syrup and a course of antibiotics against the causative organism. Wishing her a good health. Take care.
