General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The sound originating from the throat of your daughter while sleeping is wheezing.
It is caused due to broncho-constriction (obstruction of smaller airway passages) which is indicative of Hyper-responsiveness of air passages (seasonal allergy or asthma).

Romilast L consists of Montelukast +Levocetirizine.
1. Montelukast preparations are used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies & asthma
2. Levocetirizine acts as an anti-allergy medication and provides symptomatic relief.

So, the medicine as suggested by her Doctor is correct. Please continue it as advised.
If symptoms still persist, she needs to take a cough expectorant syrup and a course of antibiotics against the causative organism.

Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
