Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For simple cold and cough kidpred which is prednisolone is not needed.

It might have been prescribed for wheezing .

Jut check with your doctor.

Fr wheezing a sort course for 5 days is OK
.

Monteleukast may help in allergic rthinitis but not in viral cold!

It can be given for a 8 month old ----- the dose will be 4 mgs once a day

Good luck
