Suggest Treatment For Wheezing In A Child

HI, My baby is 2 months and 2 weeks old. he has a slight wheezing sound while he breathes, esp when sleeping. And since 2 days he has dry cough. His Paediatrician prescribed Ceff syrup,Meftal - P syrup and Alerid Syrup. Baby doesnt have fever, so if Meftal necessary? Please let me know. He also gave me Dex Tablets and asked me to powder and mix in milk and give. My baby is breast fed.. wonder, if the tablets is necessary. I do not want to give him any other milk .. unless its absolutely necessary - even if its just a spoonful. Thannks

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
1.Meftal is not necessary. Plain paracetamol is sufficient for fever.
2. Dex tablets can be given if your doctor has prescribed, you can express your milk and powder it and give if you dont want to give other milk

Regards
