Suggest Treatment For Cough And Wheezing In A Child

Hi, My son is 2yrs 7 months. He is suffering from cough with wheezing (repeated infections since past one and half months). Initially he was on nebulization and the doctor prescribed Azithral for 5 days.He recovered a bit and again after 4/5 days the same situation of persistent cough and wheezing continued. We got the blood test done. His eosinophilia is 20%. Doctor has prescribed for LIvolin syrup and Banoside syrup (3ml twice daily for 20 days).Please advice.

Hello
welcome to health care magic ,

Based on your child's history and treatment received most likely reason reason for his cough seems to be allergic (reactive airway disease) , chances of which are more if there is family history of allergic also . If your child responds immediately to nebulisation , chances of allergic cough are very much. Inhalation therapy are best recommended treatment for such type of cough, also you need to check your immunization , apart form routine vaccines he needs yearly flu vaccination. As these are prescriptional drugs you need to consult your pediatrician to take a course of these drugs as per the severity of illness.
