Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi My child (aged 12) was prescribed with loratadine by my GP over the phone for symptoms of enlarged Adenoids and i am not sure why. She has also been given a nasal spray. She does not have a runny noise or suffer from hay fever etc, however this was prescribed.
Hello Sometimes adenoids enlarged due to some allergens , so your doctor prescribed antihistamine ( loratadine ) and nasal spray , so this is necessary because all the drugs advised without physical examination of patient ( phone ). So take this treatment , and also hot saline gargles or gargles with antiseptic solution will also help . If you think , your child is having some infection then give him levofloxacin 10 mg / kg body weight , once in day orally . But this is a prescription drug , so consultation with a physician is important. Good luck.
