Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!
i want to ask about the family history.Is there any family history of asthma and allergy??
Does your child suffer from cold very often or quite frequently he is hospitalized or visits a doctor due to respiratory problems?If no then there is no indication of inhaler at this age.
I would advise a good anti histamine like cetrizine or levo-cetrizine about 3.5 ml at night and monteleukast sachet 4 mg at night for about 3 months.
Avoid cold drinks like soda,ketchup or vinegar containing sour foods,candies and icecreams.
you can also try some home remedies like a teaspoon of honey in a glass of luke warm water to drink once daily.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
