Does Polaramine Help In Treating Chesty Cough?
Question: Will Polaramine help my 5 year old son who has a bad chesty cough?
Brief Answer:
It can be used for cough
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to the HCM
Polaramine may help his cough. But if the cough is associated with pulmonary wheeze then you need to give him bronchodilators such as Syp. Salbutamol or Terbutaline.
If cough is associated with fever spikes and difficulty in breathing such as fast breath rates or chest wall indrawing, then I would recommend you to visit a pediatrician for complete physical examination and definitive treatment.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be glad to help you with any further questions.
Take care
