Hello, Thank you for asking at HCM. I went through your son s history and would like to make suggestions for him as follows: 1. There are many causes for wheezing in children and the cause in your son should be found out. Common causes are childhood asthma, viral infections and gastroesophageal reflux disease. 2. First of all, I would not prescribe omnacortil (prednisolone) to be taken as self-medication for cough even if it is due to wheezing. Prednisolone is an corticosteroid and can have many side effects. It should be only be taken for severe wheezing on prescription of doctor. 3. Were I treating your son, I would ask his symptoms in a great detail to know possible cause of wheezing. I would also like to know about him family history of allergies etc. 4. For symptom relief, I would prescribe him montelukast + levocetirizine for allergic cough-cold and salbutamol inhaler for cough wheezing (It is always good to be examined by a doctor to know which type of cough it is). 5. For diagnosis, I would suggest him allergy testing for common allergy causing substances which will help you identify the substances causing problems and also to know the measures to avoid them. 6. In general, I would suggest to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM. Wish your son the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
