Is Duolin Safe For Children?
my son is 1 year 4 months old, he is having cough and cold (noisy breathing) from last 3 months. Doctor gave cadiphylate cough syrup and Bromolin drops, I gave the medicine to him for about 15 to 20 days but it didnt worked then I showed him to Homepathy doctor and it als diidnt worked. His illness is not completely cure, from few days again he is having cough and cold and running nose. From 2 days I am giving him nebulisation of Duolin (1cc). I wanted to know whether is it safe to give nebulisation to my child and how many times I can give nebulisation in a day , what dosage and till how many days. Please advise me as to what I should do to cure my son. Should I again go to the Doctor and give him medicine or will giving nebulisation help in curing his cough and cold. Whether I should do any X-ray of test.

Hi....Duolin is safe in children. But giving nebulization without oxygen is not advisable. Nebulization without oxygen can cause sudden death sometimes and it is reported in medical literature.
By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does he cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does he feel breathless when he runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
Please revert back to me with answers so that I can guide you better.
