Can Cold, Cough, Runny Nose Causing Eating And Sleeping Difficulties Be Treated?

Dear sir my son is 7 yes old. He is suffering from cold & cough from long time...almost by birth. Every now n then he has continuous cough or runny nose. He is not able to speak, eat or sleep properly. We have taken opinion of 6-7 pediatricians. Every one says he has allergy. Doctors prescribed him ascoril syrup montair tablet n asthalin nebuliser in case of severe conditions. He feels good only after taking nebulizer. Pl advise what to do? How to get rid of this cough...and pl tell us is asthalin safe for my son to give once a day ?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Cough and cold are common in children. It is basically a viral infection and generally associated with an allergic reaction. Some children are more prone to catch cold. However, the propensity gradually comes down with age.

Give the child steam inhalation as an alternative to nebulisation. Continue giving montair LC (monteleukast + levocetirizine) during the episodes. Asthalin contains salbutamol that reduces the bronchospasm that causes the wheezing. You need not worry. It is safe to be given to children. Give it as an inhaler using a spacer device when the episodes of cold occur.
