Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Antihistaminc decongestant medicines along with some antipyretics to be given with proper doses,
Antibiotics may also be added if the child is febrile or the breathing symptoms are increasing.
Nebulized form of bronchodiltors and some steroids may help in getting the speedy recovery.
Because the allergic bronchitis is a inflammatory disease, so often steroids are required to get the quick antinflammatory response and thus quick recovery .
Omnacortil drops are added for the same purpose but for only shorter period.
Hope the query is answered.
Thanks
