Suggest Remedies For Recurring Flare Ups Of Bronchitis Asthma In An Infant

My son is 1 year old now, at the age of 9 months he got severe cough cold and fever and admitted in the hospital and after the discharge same problem repeated cold and then severe cough, doctors advised for nebulizer budecort and levolin, no improvement they confirmed it as bronchitis asthma. They have given Hydrocot 100 iv. Till now it happened every month and so doc advised to use huff and puff kit with asthalin and budecort inhalers each 3 puffs twice a day , improvement was mild so changed the doc and he prescribed seroflo 125 and asthalin inhaler twice a day. I m in a confusion that nothing works for my son. Again same problem is being repeated . What to do? Please help me. Is it safe to give these inhalers ? Should I change the medicine because problem is being repeated.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your health concern I'm of the following concern:
- under no circumstance, you should change/decrease or stop the drugs mentioned without first contacting with your attending physician.
- as the symptoms are chronic and recurrent either there is the possibility of seasonal allergy or chronic bronchitis, as such you should see a Chest Specialist for relevant physical examination and investigation like Hb%, WBC for eosinophilia, X-ray chest for TB, Pneumonia.

If other investigations are normal, HIV test [as routine]

PS. As a cough is there, thus this is an indication for immediate chest X-ray.
ii. The choice of antibiotic will vary from doctor to doctor, and from locality to locality, until then
- maintain good oral hygiene, rinse your mouth after every meal, avoid smoking, tobacco chewing.
- Take mainly soft diet - rice, chapati, or phulka, with nonspicy vegetables.
- Avoid fried foods like Wada, samosa, dosa, pakodas, papad, namkeen, and potato chips, avoid hotel food.

Do not take any cold drinks, cold water, ice cream, chilled food from the refrigerator.

Avoid sour fruits like citrus fruits, grapes, take sweet fruits- bananas, papaya.

Steam Inhalation and warm salt water gargles.

Cover the mouth while coughing (using hand or handkerchief) to prevent the spread of infection to other family members.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
