How Effective & Safe Is Taking Zatofen Syrup For Asthma?
Hi,
I am Adnan. My 7 month old son has been diagnosed with baby asthma by my pediatrician.
He prescribed usage of zatofen syrup for 3 months. I want to know first of all is there any side effect of this medicine. Moreover how much time does it take baby asthma to be cured?
Looking forward to your valuable advise.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
In many children at his age, the term reactive airway may be used. This means that the airways in the lungs are prone to react to allergies and infections. If this continues repeatedly then the children may be said to be asthmatics.
It is quite possible that he may outgrow his reactive airway, many children do but it is not possible to say if or when this may occur.
If there are specific triggers then avoiding or reducing his exposure to these would help.
I hope this helps
