Suggest Treatment For Sever Cough For 2.5 Year Old
My son is 2.5 years old and is suffering from severe cough from past 2 months.we have given him many cough syrups and antibiotics, but nothing has helped. He has also constipation problem. Now finally one doctor has prescribed levolin and seroflo inhalers for 1 and 2 months respectively. I want to know whether these inhalers will cause more of constipation and will the use of it will effect his growth?
hi.. am happy to reply your doubts. you have given less information about the child. if child is coughing more during night time, associated wheeze and cough exacerbated by dust and frequent attack and family history of asthma goes in fever of wheezer (episodic wheezer). in that case inhaled steroids help to control the cough. these drugs does not cause constipation and mild to moderate dose of inhaled steroid does not affect growth (fluticasone 125, 250).
