Severe cough congestion and fever
My son Shaurya was suffer from from chronic cough congestion from few days such that there coughing is not stop and child feeling difficulty with cough and fever. When the fever raised the cough is stop and as the fever drop again child start coughing.The last Dr recommended codistar and asthalin for instant relief.The child was OK around for few days 8 something and after that it again get cough congestion and but now slight less coughing.The some Dr suggest that child of 1 to 6 not get bronchitis , but one Dr gives asthalin, levolin and some suggest ambrodil ,bresol along with levocetrizine and montair. I really confused that some suggest bronchitis while some suggest allergy and some told that it is inherited from family but myself and my wife had not such problem but my mother had problem of short of breathing usually seasonal change.Please suggest me the right option to follow for my children treatment.As it is only 4 years but while seeing coughing and upset I really feel guilty

Given that his grandma has asthma,it's most likely that your son has the same problem,which is characterized by episodes of cough,wheezing sounds in the breathing and breathlessness. If mild,give just steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. Use paracetamol for fever if required. If severe,better consult your paediatrician for physical examination and treatment. Influenza vaccine helps in such children.
