I have a 1 year and 5months old child whose suffering from bronchitis and asthma, one of the medicines the doctor prescribed was sinecod forte, I am worried because I just read the label stating that it shouldn t be administered to children under 3 years old..I want to my child to be cured but I don t want his health to be harmed as well.Thanks
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 she runs around or plays with other kids?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.
