Yes please try Homoeopathy as it will help you get rid of the bouts that keep happening. It will also build a good immunity for your son. Please keep him away from antibiotics as much as possible.

Hello lybrate-user!
salbair and asthalin have similar action and both are used as needed in bronchial asthma.
While asthalin contains salbutamol, salbair contains levosalbutamol.
Levosalbutamol is a isomer of salbutamol with comparatively lesser side effect potential.
Recent international guidelines don't support the preferred use of either salbutamol or levosalbutamol for asthma.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, asthalin (salbutamol) is not a very good
drug for long term asthma management due to
1. It has a short duration of action
2. It cannot prevent asthma attacks
3. It can be dangerous for heart (in an unsupervised use, for long period)
fortunately there are better, safer drugs to control asthma.
Since asthma is treated according to its stage, kindly get a pft test done.
Wishing you good health.

Both treatment is not good. Nasivion is not good for long term use as it can cause side effects and reboundcongestion. Salbutamol or asthalin inhaler is only for short term use. You needto assess your lung function and go on a preventer inhaler.

This looks like asthma, can be confirmed with detailed questions
inhaled salbutamol is recommended than oral syrup for their side effects. Pressurized metered dose inhaler (pmdi) asthalin can be given with a spacer and face mask, if not relieved pmdi budesonide with salbutamol 100 mcg is better, 1 puff whenever cough occurs. Can be repeated in 15 minutes if no relief, step up with two puffs if no relief. Techniques of pmdi with space can be seen in youtube video by typing the brand name and ...more
