Hello doctor..my 5 year old son often developes cough cold and has been treated with cough syrups and antibiotics several times in the past. He was on Montair Syrup for one montelukast when he was 3 and half for one month and it appeared that this was helping him as he did not have those acute coughs for a year. Howvere he has again developed thise episodes and now they are as clsoe as 3 months. He was given antibiotic when he starte complaining about ear pain after prolonged cough on october 2, 2013 and he responded very well. From Decembr 5, 2013 onwards, her started to have mild cough and it worsened over weeks not responding to any cough syrups (Dilo DX and Ascoryl). He is alos on Montair syrup at the same time. I had to start him with Augmenting today due to very pianful throat and ear pain. Should Montair be continued at this stage or should I just rely on Augmenting + Dilo DX (if required)
Hi dear, I understand your concern. Augmenting is the best antibiotic for throat Streptococcal infection. Montelukast should be delayed, Dilo-DX will be enough for cough. Hope I answered to your question, if you have more questions, then don't hesitate to contact us. I am always happy to help. Wishing your child good health
