Hello,

As your child is experiencing productive cough and wheezing; an acute respiratory inflammation and bronchial hyper-reactivity is highly suspected. In such case antibiotic (Azithromycin) therapy and anti-inflammatory medication is justified; bronchial-dilators like Levolin should be used with cautions at your daughter's age. Aerosols with normal saline (0.9%) could be beneficial. You should consult the prescribing doctor on the immediate term effects of therapy and the clinical symptomatology.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
