Suggest Medication For Cold And Vomiting
my 3yr9months old daughter (15kg) has cold - started with running nose and sneezing; now coughing and occasional vomiting while eating/drinking. I have given her ambrodyl s (4.5ml x 3 times a day) and levolin inhaler (two puffs thrice a day) [she was prescribed levolin on earlier occasions and doctor has advised future use on SOS basis]. She doesn t take steam inhalation/gurgling. Now she has a little phlegm also. Is my step OK? Pl suggest medicines

hi...
the history suggestive of common cold, that is simple viral illness. if she doesn't have wheeze or noisy breathing, ambrodil S or levolin neb does not help the child.
use levocetrizine 5mg half tablet twice a day. it takes 5 - 6 days to subside. if cough persists, then child may have wheezing problem and then consult your doctor.
steam inhalation and gurgling doesn't help much.
if you are happy with my answer kindly rate me.
