Can Romilast Be Given For A Year For Mild Wheezing And Cough?
Question: My son aged 4 years suffers from mild wheezing and has a tendency to cough 1/2 hr after going to bed as well as very early in the morning. Troed variou remedies and finally Romilast 4 mg did solve this problem. However, if and when the medicine is stopped, the symptoms recur. In winter the entire ailment worsons a wee bit more. Question is can Romilast 4 mg be given continously for say a year, and is there any lasting solution. All blood checks and tests are normal

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Wheezing at this age is.usually allergic.
Romilast contains monteluekast which can be safely given to kids at this age. You can even continue for a year.
No problems.
No side effects.
Don't worry.
However if symptoms persist you can.get allergy skin testing or specific allergen antibodies ( IgE).
If romilast fails then short course of inhalers may be required as prevention therapy.
