Pediatrician,  's  Response
Asthalin is a bronchodilator and is safe and often essential in persistent cough. Such cough commonly occurs due to viral infection where antibiotics are ineffective and hence he has not recovered yet. You can give asthalin nebulisation at home but you would need a nebuliser device. Alternatively, you can give steam inhalation on one hand and asthalin inhaler through spacer device and the combination will serve the same purpose.
It is common for children not to eat well if they are not in proper health. However, since the child is otherwise active, I would not worry.
