Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Wheezing

Dear Dr, My son had wheezing trouble when he was 3 years old. Now he is 10 years old. We had taken him to many doctors but still this problem persists. Once we took him to a Chest Specialist who prescribed inhalers like Foracort Rotacaps 200 along with some tablets like Vita, etc .Regular visit to the doctor was done for 8 months & his wheezing trouble was under control. But we found that my son developed some skin rashes in his hand(blackish in colour) & also he was gaining more weight. Hence we stopped the treatment. Then we took him to a Homeopathy Specialist for 6 months but no improvement was there. He is suffering from severe cough every night. At times we give him rotacap capsule which makes him little calm. Kindly advice on how to proceed with this problem

Hi sir...
Your son seems to have chronic asthma. The wheezing is more common during slight changes in weather and also common in winter. I suggest you avoid dust and allergens to which he has allergy. Weight & rashes could be due to Foracort. The chest physician has prescribed right medication, the medication can be contuined along with asthalin rotacaps when wheeze is severe. I suggest you to consult once again to same doctor..

Thank you
