My 7 year old son had been on montek lc kid for about 6 months till about a month back. Now since he,s been off it the symptoms have all come back...the persistent cough and cold. He throws up also often due to the persistent coughing. Should I start montek lc kid again? I am wary of the side effects that the drug may have. Kindly help.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your son was given Tab Monte LC for the symptoms of cough and cold which has reduced the symptoms, but the symptoms has come again. He should be evaluated for any allergic reactions. He may be having some allergic manifestations. I would suggest your son to undergo lab investigations like absolute eosinophil count, chest X-ray and routine blood examination. For his symptoms I would suggest him to take1. Tab Monte LC2. Syp Pricier, three times day.3. Duolin nasal spray4. Course of antibiotics like Spy Autoclave. If the symptoms are not coming down he requires skin prick test to find out the allergen causing these symptoms. Thank you.
