Question: Hi dr,
My daughter is 3.5 years old. She has a problem of getting dry cough. The symptoms usually start with runny nose, sneezing and then dry coughing develops. Her Paed puts her on nebulisation (levoline respules and budecort). He also gives ambrolite syrup and omnacortil parallely. She gets this problem once in 2 months on an average and has been happening since August this year. With nebulisation and these medicines it usually settles within a week or 10 days. My concern is if this can develop into asthma in the years to come? I am very much worried. Before August it happened from Jan- March this year too. Earlier phase was much acute and she used to get coughing fits and then puke. Now situation has considerably improved. Due to her health concerns we have left New XXXXXXX and settled in suburbs which has very less pollution. Please suggest what we can do to reduce this gradually. I sometimes feel it's only my girl getting it so frequently. She weighs 13.2 kgs.

Thanks for the prompt response dr. She gets wheezing in the lungs rarely. This time it's more of dry nostrils and some congestion in nasal passage while sleeping. Dr do children at this age in XXXXXXX get this or is it very rare and happening with my daughter only? Please suggest. I nebulise her to prevent it from increasing further. What can I give her (any medicine or tonic) for increasing her immunity. I am giving her septilin syrup and seven seas on regular basis.
