My daughter 2.5 years old. She got wheezing in previous yrs. Currently she is of 14 to 15 kgs and having cold. Gave her home medicines and cold is getting cured. From even she is having cough and I don't know if it's wheezing or normal cough. She is coughing frequently and I gave 3.5 ml of asthalin. Is it fine or I need to increase the ml. Can I use asthalin? I didn't hear any whistling sound.

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 spacer to correctly administer,
