Welcome to HCM.
You can start budecort respules at least twice a day along with ashtalin during severe episodes.
Levocetrizine/montelukast combination is advisable to reduce the allergic episodes.
Avoid chocolates,ice creams,cold drinks and deep fried foods.
It is better to start any medications under guidance of your pediatrician because he knows the exact clinical condition of your child.
