What Is The Treatment Of Persistent Cough And Nasal Congestion In A Child?

Hi, My 3-1/2 year old son has been having deep cough(non-productive) with sound for past 3 months. He had been prescribed Flovent HFA 44 mcg(2 puffs twice daily until one week after the cough stops) and Children s Claritin in United States. I was not prescibed the spacer and was not aware of it and was not able to administer the inhaler properly. I came to India for summer break and consulted with a Pediatric who presribed Laveta M. My son s cough was reduced but still not completely gone. Another Pediatrician precribed him with Levolin Inhaler(he is now on 2 puffs twice daily), Allegra syrup(5 ml twice daily) and Montair Granules(once) for 15 days. I have been giving the above inhaler and allergy medications for more than 15 days since he is been having slight cold symptoms of nasal congestion and he coughed more today. My pharmacy friend was suggesting me to try Montair LC Kid for allergy. Can i replace Allegra an Montair Granules with Montair LC Kid. Kindly advise me to cure my son s cough.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from Chennai.

This seems to be a multi triggered wheeze and I suggest you to use Budecort metered dose inhaler along with Levolin inhaler only when required and coming to your question - yes you can replace with montair LC kid.
