Hello my son is 3 yrs and 10 months old. He recently has cold and cough and doctor gave him salbutamol cough syrup. He got alright after 10 days. But now, just after 20 days he again had a cold and cough and had short breath during night. His heartbeat was also very high. This time doctor has prescribed him Xyzal and Levolin Inhaler with omnacortil tablet twice aday? Is my son having asthmatic symtoms. Are the medicines given by the doctor safe at this age? Will he be able to recover out of it?

Hello.The symptoms that your child has are characteristic of bronchitis and asthma.The medicines that he is taking are commonly used and safe.
With medicines, he will recover, but if he has asthma,you should know that it is a chronic pathology and he will have symptoms with some frequency and he must use inhalated drugs daily.I wish you good health.
