My child has a dry cough at night
Olga asks:
Good afternoon! Maybe you can tell me. The child has had a cough for a long time since December, mostly dry, at night up to 1 hour duration. In February Sumamed was given. The cough subsided for a week, then everything repeats. Practically throughout this time we do inhalations with mineral water and sometimes with berodual. In March, a stroke from the nose was given for sowing. Showed streptococcus, amoxicillin was prescribed. The coughing continued. Then she forced us to give us tests and handed them over. The general or common analysis of a blood feces, a blood on a chlamydia, a mycoplasma and ljamblii. In the general analysis increased COE and ezonophiles, and in feces found ascarids.
Nemozol was drunk and a bronchomunal was prescribed simultaneously. Cough of the night stopped, there were wheezing, there were a pulmonologist, a pulmonologist at a visual examination and from my words assigns us berodual 3 times a day and pulmicorts once a day 0.25 2 mg not diluted. I'm in shock pediatrician, too, says a very large dose. Lor diagnosed adenoiditis of the third degree. At the moment, the pediatrician says that the child's wheezing remains assigned to ACS 0.05, 2 bronchomonal intake( there at the rate of 3) 2 times a day and pulmicort, which I do not do. The baby breathes, in principle, without gasping, there are minor wheezing rales. I have an opinion that I was just healed. Has forgotten to add, in the beginning of May ENT still has told to give supraks. And another question, was going to take the child to the sea in Anapa, the lung specialist waved his hands, said that it is dangerous, Can you tell me something, advise how to act?
Answer:
Olga, to discuss the actions of your doctor I think is not ethical, although, it would probably treat your baby a little differently. Perhaps, because before making final conclusions, you need not only to have all the results of examinations and analyzes on your hands, but also to examine the child with your own eyes, perform auscultation( listening to the lungs), etc.
If you have reasonable doubts about competencepediatrician, contact another specialist. Re-sit all the tests, in particular the feces, to make sure that the ascarids in it after treatment are absent. According to your description it is difficult to say something specific, but one thing is clear - the cause of wheezing is not revealed, and therefore the treatment does not give radical results.
