Is Allegra And Bricanyl Syrup Along With Nebulization Safe For An Infant For Chest Congestion?
Hi, My 11 month old daughter has been asked to be nebulized 4 times a day with Levolin and budecort. She has been given Allerga and bricanyl syrup 3 Ml each 3 times a day. But when I searched the net these oral meds seems to have side effetcts. I'm actually worried now. What should I do? All she has is a chest congestion ....which is making it difficult for her to eat...she vomits when she eats or drinks anything apart from beastfeed.

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
All the medication do have a role in the management of pulmonary wheeze depending on the severity best assessed on clinical examination.
Bricanyl dose should be 0.075mg (0.25ml)/kg body weight 3 times in a 24 hour period. Allegra should be given as 2.5 ml twice daily as per your child's age.
These drugs have side effects but rarely at normal doses. So don't worry.
