Brief Answer:
Daily use of low dose foracort with montelukast cetrizine will help
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks fir asking here
I have gone through the queries and attached files in detail. The spirometry findings and clinical symptoms are suggestive of allergic hyperactive airway disease i.e. asthma of mild to moderate variety.
In such cases apart from precautions to avoid all the precipitant/allergen regular use of low dose corticosteroid as foracort with some controlling agent like montelukast cetrizine combination as Admont LC helps in reducing the symptoms.
This should be continued for longer duration like 3 months. In case of worsening of symptoms even on this therapy use of bronchodilator like levolin will help.
You can consult pulmonologist for this condition.
You have to keep your patience high and to encourage your child for adherence to the therapy.
I hope this helps.
Plz let me know if you have any doubt.Wishing good health.
Thanks and regards
