Hi XXXXXXX,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Few questions to help you better.
1. Other than these three episodes does he have any past episodes of recurrent cough?
2. Does he have any other allergies.... like skin allergy or eye allergy (I mean allergic conjunctivitis)
3. Is there any family history of allergy?(skin allergies etc in father, mother, grand parents, uncles, etc)
4. Is there any family history of bronchial asthma?

I think your Pediatrician is suspecting wheeze associated respiratory illness or bronchial asthma in your kid.

During such episodes we treat with nebulisation with Salbutamol or Levosalbutamol (present in levolin used by your pediatrician) Some treat mild to moderate episodes of asthma with inhaled steroids (Budesol is a steroid used by your pediatrician)

Antibiotics are recommended only if there are features of infection in bronchial asthma (Aziwok used by your pediatrician... normally we use 10mg per kg body weight per day for three days or 10mg per kg body weight on first day followed by 5mg/kg per day for 4 days. In typhoid fever we give 20mg/kg per day for 7 to 14 days)......What is the weight of your child?
I personally do not use Deriphyllin for pediatric asthma.

In case of frequent episodes preventor therapy should be used which contains inhaled steroids like budesonide etc.

Please monitor respiratory rate..... look for any chest indrawing, grunting sounds or bluish coloration of fingers etc as they give a clue to worsening scenario in a case of respiratory illness.

hope this helps.
Take care
