Question 1

My Son is 4 years. He has been having cough with Mucus. Whenever he cough I can hearfeel that mucus in his lungs but its not coming out. Im worried. Doctor has suggested Montair LC Kid syrup for 4 days and he has told if it doesn't come down then need to do Nebulization. When I read review on the Montair LC it looks to be for some kind of allergyasthama related. Is it safe to give Montair LC Kid syrup and will it bring down the mucus in his chest?

Question 2

Im 20 years old and every time I use my Asthalin inhaler for asthma, I get tremors and a headache. Is it okay to switch to Ventolin inhaler instead to avoid these side effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can consider switching to Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler, as it is similar to Asthalin, but some people may tolerate it better, however, since you're experiencing tremors and headaches, consult your doctor before making the switch to discuss potential alternatives, adjusting dosages, or adding medications to minimize side effects.
