My child is having asthma. She is 6 years old. She was not having asthma till 4 years old. From last 2 year she is taking formonide 100 puff regularly at night. After shifting to bangalore last year doctor prescribed levolin inhaler too to be taken when there is more coughing. When she is having more cough doctor told to give 3 puff, 3 hourly basis. From 22 Dec 2017 she is having little cough we were giving her only formonide 100 2 puff ,as we would be travelling by AC train we started giving levolin puff from 24 dec. After reaching Mumbai she was coughing I have her levolin inhaler 2 puff and formonide 100 1 puff. Again we travelled in flight returned to bangalore on 8 jan 2018. Still now she is having cough we are giving levolin. We are not sending her out. I am worried as she is taking levolin this time for longer period from 24 dec 2017 to 11 Jan 2018. Is it ok to take it for more than 2 weeks? Why this time her cough is taking time to go? Can asthma go as she was not having it from birth?

Your problem is to be solved as soon as possible. Try to give good HONEY+ juice of (Adulsa 1/2 tsp+ TULSI 1/2 tsp+ few drops of GINGER) in morn. You may send her CBC report for complete cure.

Hi. Thanks for the detailed history. First of all relax and calm down. You must understand that asthma is a condition which is easiest in respiratory diseases to be treated. Look formonide contains both medicines which are required for long term symptoms and also for treating sudden increase in cough. Additional doses of levolin (asthalin) is not required. Your doctor must have added levolin only for emergencies. Levolin should not be used for continous use. You should now stop giving levolin and use only formonide 100 2 puff in morning and 2 in night. Gradually doses of formonide can be reduced further too.
