Will Using Inhale Seroflo 50 Help Prevent Wheezing ?
My daughter is 3 yrs old now, because of her regular periodical wheezing ie.,once in 2 months, she has been advised to inhale seroflo 50 for about 2 months with the dosage of 2puffs daily just for prevention. Is it safe to use it for such a long period? She gets stomach pain often after started using it. Is it related to that?should we stop it immediately or continue with this

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. First I want to alley your fears regarding your kid -
1. It is safe in the recommended dosage.
2. Stomach pain is not related to it.
3. You should not stop it unless advised by your doctor.
Other suggestions -
1. 3 years is not an age to diagnose asthma. It could be either multi triggered wheeze or episodic viral wheeze.
2. Seroflo or any of the medications used for wheezing in any route either oral or inhalational do not cause dependency or make the patient prone for asthma. Actually its the other way round.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
