My 5 year old daughter has been prescribed albuteral syrup and prednisolone syrup for her cough and wheezing. Can I take them both at the same time? Which one is better to break up and stop her.cough? She is not wheezing as much,anymore, just a cough for about 3 weeks. Help.

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
You can start with albuterol which is safe .
Prednisolone is steroid which needs to be given in severe wheezing only.
Hope I answered your query
