Suggest Treatment For Coughing And Shortness Of Breath Of A 18 Month Old
My 18 month old son has been coughing for over 2 hours continuously. He is getting very destressed. He seems a little short of breath also. We have given him some of his inhaler which he was given when he was smaller for a shortness of breath with a cold he suffered. What should I do?

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Shortness of breath could indicate a wheezing attack
Try asthalin nebulisers every 2 hours.
If not settling you need to consult nearby hospital
Wishing your child speedy recovery
