Suggest Treatment For Child Suffering From Enlarged Adenoids
Hello, our son is 7 yrs old. He keeps getting cough and cold every 25-30 days. His cough results in whooping sound followed by vomiting. Upon consultation, we have been giving him several doses of mucodialators. But he keeps getting this regularly. We have got his soft tissue x ray done which shows enlarged adenoids (slightly ). Kindly suggest further action

Hello and welcome to healthcare magic.
The history is suggestive of whooping cough considering the child is unvaccinated.In this case I would suggested macrolide like azomax for 5 days.I would advise an anti-allergic and ivy leaf extract syrup in addition to mucolators and bronchdilators for a week
In vaccinated child omit azomax.Give montelukast for 2 months at bedtime as prevention therapy.
Take your child to ENT (ear nose throat) specialist for expert advice regarding removal of adenoids.
Hope you find this answer helpful.Good luck!
