what I would suggest is XXXXXXX that you give him steam inhalation
take a steamer that is available
wait
his mother should hold him in her lap
actually my wife is pregenant and 7ht month running
but i could give him a steam inhalation, should i used vicks or something or onny water
ok
no
just plain water
ok
secondly, for the cold, i want you to give him Nasoclear nasal drops
you can put 1-2 drops in each nostril 2-3 times a day
ok, but why this reaccuring
Thirdly, vacuum your bedroom and wash all the bedsheets in hot boiling water
He seems to be allergic to something
allergies are a really good breeding ground for infection
yes, thats my doctor says, this time after cough he was breating heavy
take him out in the sunlight
its important
infection in lungs, is that sign of asthma??
no
its just that if a child has allergies
so there is not varying factor
the underlying lining of the respiratory tract becomes more prone to infections
Asthma is basically allergic in nature
Infections are caused by bacteria, viruses etc
ok, thnx
