Does Levolin Help In Curing Pneumonia?
hi
My son is about 10 kgs. He started with pneumonia 2 months back. After tratmnet by using antibiotics and injection he was alright. Then in another 6-7 days he was attacked by another cold which lasted for 7days and then again he had a slight WHEEZE. Doctor this time asked us to give him Levolin. He got alright for 15 days. Then again suddenly he started to cough and cold. We found he has a wheeze and doctor said he must be allergic. He prescribed Levolin for 5 days 3 times a day He prescribed Montair for 2 weeks and Levolin. Are we using the correct set of medicines? Will it weaken him ? I am really worried about his being medicated so much. Thanks for the patience to read my question so long. Please help me.

thanks for your question
monteleukast is a medication for allergy it acts by leukotreine blockade , so it can be taken and levo salbutamol is a short acting beta 2 agonist which acts by dilation of the bronchus
all these medications are safe as per symptoms but the point to be noted Is what exactly is causing such symptoms , is it allergy or something else
you should consult a Pulmonologist who can request for an allergy test , serum Ige , or if possible or if age is more than 5 yrs your child can do a pefr test to certain a diagnosis
infection needs to be ruled out
take the above mentioned medications as the dose prescribed to your child
thanks
