Suffering From Asthma. Took Steriods And Inhalers. Prescribed Ayurveda Medicines. Any Side Effects?
Dear Sir,
Please suggest me.
My child, 3 years old is suffering from asthma since birth. he has been given steroids(predinosolene) and now on inhalers. To avoid allopathic medicines, I consulted ayurvedic doctor, MD
He has given following medication for my kid
Kanakaasava - 1/2 spoon twice a day
Vasarishtam- 1/2 spoon twice a day
Swaasa kuthaara rasa -1/2 tablet twice a day
Ashwagandha - 1/2 spoon once a day
Shilajit- 1/2 capsule once a day
Vasa Kantakari Lehyam- 1/2 spoon twice a day
I have doubt that small kid, 3 years can be given all these medicines for 3 months without any side effects on him. If you suggest me in this regard, I am very greatful to you.

Hi
Any medicines can have side effect. It is up to you to select ayurveda or allopathy. But better don mix up both. And the using inhaled steroids doesnt have the side of per oral medications.so better you can continue that.
thanks
