Is Asthalin Safe For 2 Month Old Non Asthmatic?
Hi,
My kid is just 2.5 months old.
Occassionally he would have one loud cough as if he has got choked and trying to clear that. He would be OK as we give him gentle back massage immediately.
Last week on a particular day he had this cough almost one every hour, so a doctor was consulted.
The doctor has suggested him Asthalin to be given with a nebulizer thrice for 5 days.
He doesn't have any breathing problem, sneezes occassionally, get discharges in nose occassionally. Occassionally it would sound that he has got cough.
So I am a little bit worried as he is so small and whether Asthalin would be safe for him.
Is Asthalin suggested even for non-asthama cases?
