Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from Chennai.
By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having moderate
persistent asthma. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does she
cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does her sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does she feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like
skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
I suggest you meet a pediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.
Inhaled
steroids are the first line therapy and approved now all over the world for symptom control in asthmatics. They are not addictive. Please do not listen to what others say.
