Hi all, Savir is 13 mhts old. He is down with cold from monday. From last 2 days, he has been coughing. Whenever he does, I hear a wheezing sound. I took him to the doc yesterday, he said he has wheezing and his chest is filled with phlegm because of cold. This could be because of weather change. He has given some medication, which is like how they give for asthma. He should take 3 puffs twice a day. The doc also said if this continues couple of times, it could lead to asthma in future. He asked me whether we have a family history of asthma. I said not that I know. He said he can't conclude anything right now, so he said it is just wheezing. I am a bit worried. Any comments.... Anitha replied. Hi Smile,

Laya too had this problem after our india trip.. it all started with ear infection and then cough cold.. and she will vomit what evershe had after coughing and she started getting wheezing first week she was on amoxycilin and hen second week she was given an higher dose of amoxycillin with another coponent ..but she had wheezing one night and had to be taken to emergency room and was given nebulizer. and then we had to repeat this for few days for every 4 hrs at home.. and now she is doing fine...

Dylan had this when he was 6 months he was also wheezing at the time the dr gave me a gas mask which had a nebulizer he has to take this every 4 hours but now there is no signs of wheezing. dont worry savir will get better soon. we also have a history of asthma in our family. this is a common virus and will pass

My kisses to Savir. Dont't worry. Last week even Lekha went through the same situation. Last sunday night she was in a miserable state. I took her to the ped. on monday. He gave her antibiotic (amoxycilin). The situation is improving.
One suggetion, you try giving him tulsi juice (if you get it)+ some honey. If not you can mix sandle wood powder+ turmeric+milk into a fine paste. Warm it a bit and apply on the chest, neck during night times. The first method has somewhat worked for Lekha.
We have stopped BM. Their immune system is not yet meture enough. Now is the time we have to watch for.
Don't worry, he'll be alright within no time.

Love,
Veena
