My son is 6 years old. He used to catch viral infections frequently which resulted in him having wheezing , cold and cough. Now he is having bad coughing if not given Montair LC kid syrups, levolin inhaler & nebulizer . I consulted pediatric and he said this problem usually get better with age of 8-10 years if we don t have any family history of such problem. Fortunately, we don t have. But still I m really worried how long this is going to be? Is it a beginning of Asthma? Do this montair LC kid if started give strong side effects or is it completely able to cure or just Preventive?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor for health query. This is Chat Doctor. Your son has wheezing issue for which he has been given anti allergic and inhalers. You do not have family history of asthma. Your child might not develop asthma, but then he might have things persistent too, so help to increase his capacity to overcome it. Give him nicely balanced diet rich in protein and fat. Take him for breathing exercises. Monteleukast and cetirizine combo can be changed to plain cetirizine which is good for long term. Hope this helps.
