Brief Answer:
Nothing much to worry and your treatment is on the right track.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Seroflo is a Salmeterol and Fluticasone combination and is quite effective and safe. It can be used for children.

Most probably she is having atopy and asthma and frequent exacerbations might be causing the problems.

Avoid dusts and mites to prevent exacerbations.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing all the best

Till there is no symptoms of breathing problem . Do u think there can be still chances of asthma ? Doctors say that it's more of allergic coughing as we stay in XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Asthama can be a possibility

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If symptoms keep on persisting, we have to think of Asthma. Wheezing is more common in Asthmatic than simple allergic cough. If you have family history of asthma, there is more chance for other individuals in the family also.
As of now try to avoid exposure to dust as much as possible( I know it is inevitable in Delhi!!).
