Wheezing, Cold Like Symptoms. On Flohale. What Is The Dosage?
My son is 2 years and 2 months. We live in Bangalore, which is very highly polluted and so my son sometimes suffers from wheezing/cold like symptoms. The Dr. here has prescribed Flohale 125 2x a day every day for long term, regardless of any symptoms, and Levolin every 4 hours gradually reducing for 2 weeks if he is having symptoms of a cold. I read the dosage for an adult that came with the boxes for both of these medicines and it seems that those are very high dosages for a baby so young and whose weight is only 11 kgs. Is it okay to continue with the dosage or should we take a second opinion?

Hi ! The dosage prescribed is indeed high for that age and body weight. It would be better if you take a second opinion regarding continuation of the drug.
