Can A Second Dose Of Solupred Oro Tablet Be Given To Combat Asthama?

My six year old son has been prescribed solupred oro 20mg, along with Ventolin, for asthma. The dose he has been given is one tablet in the morning for three days. If in the night the Ventolin is not effective would it be a good idea to give him another solupred? He doesn t really have a history of asthma, apart from when he had bronchitis and a very bad cold. Thank you.

Hi,

Your son needs both physical & pathological tests for allergy, infection & respiratory function. This would decide nature of his symptoms & cause too. A cause specific treatment by chest physician would help him out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
