Following possibilities needs to be considered in case of recurrent respiratory symptoms are

Brief Answer:
Septilin syrup will be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms XXXX,

The cause of recurrent respiratory infection is likely to be dust allergy. It is important to consult Respiratory Physician once for further assessment.

I Would suggest the following to improve her immunity

1. Chyawanprash 1 spoon three times a day
2. Himalaya Septilin Syrup is helpful in boosting immunity
3. Fresh lime water with honey added
4. Cetrrizine + Montelukast taken for 3 weeks will help prevent future episodes.
5. Steam inhalation: Preferably using electronic steamer , 15 minutes each session twice a day. Let her continue with it. It will also help in preventing future episodes.

I would not recommend giving Taxim O every time.

Take Care

Best Regards
Dr Deepak
