He was diagonised with childhood asthma at the Age of 1.5 years, used to get wheezing attacks regularly and advised of Asthalin inhalers for couple of years.We stay in bangalore, we find it really difficult during the winter season (Nov till feb) every year. 2 days back he got caught with cold\caugh (no fever) from school, as he also developed Wheezing we have started Asthalin (2.5ml respule) to begin every 8hrs, as the wheezing was more we are giving it on 4hr basis now.

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.
