What Causes Difficulty Breathing After Having Ascoril?
Question: Doctor had recommended ascoril d and ascoril L's when he had infection in his throat and fever but doctor said he had cold too. After taking this medicine for 7days my son who is 4years old started suffering with breathing problem. So my question is whether this medicine has been a cause for it?
Brief Answer:
Syrup ascoril d and ascoril L 's are not cause for breathing problem .
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.
As per your clinical history it appears that your son are most probably having upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) .
In my opinion , Syrup ascoril d and ascoril L 's are not cause for breathing problem . In fact this syrups will decrease breathing problem.
Your son breathing problem may be because of following reasons
1) Nose blockage due to infection , adenoid hypertrophy & deviated nasal septum . Do X ray (Nasopharynx lateral view) to rule out adenoid hypertrophy which is common in children .
2) Bilateral tonsils hypertrophy which can be seen on examination .
3) Larynx infections
4) Lower respiratory track infection
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
consult ENT specialist for ENT examination & get x ray done to know cause for breathing problem.
Till then use
Steam Inhalation twice daily &
Saline nasal spray thrice daily .
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
