Hello welcome to the health care magic
Your child has been prescribed decongestant phenylephrine and bronchodilator drug.
Phenylephrine cannot prescribed in below 4 year child. But in greater than 4 year old child it can be prescribed.
Your doctor might done Auscultation and physical examination and so bronchodilator also prescribed as bronchoconstriction might present. (rhonchi heard in bronchoconstriction)
If no improvement than further work up needed and again have to consult pediatrician
Take care
Hope this will help you
