Her prescribed medications, Seroflo (fluticasone/salmeterol) and Levolin (levosalbutamol), are excellent for opening her airways, but they can take a few days to show full effect during a lung infection. Her runny nose might be a symptom of the infection itself or a mild reaction. For now, keep her comfortable and ensure she takes the medications exactly as prescribed. However, if her breathing difficulty worsens, she experiences chest tightness, or her oxygen drops, please contact her treating doctor promptly for an in-person evaluation to see if her treatment plan needs adjusting.

Please do not mix Levolin (levosalbutamol) and Asthalin (salbutamol) in your nebulizer. Both are very similar medications designed to open your airways. Combining them does not make them more effective; instead, it significantly increases the risk of side effects like a rapid heart rate, shakiness, and elevated blood sugar levels, which is important to avoid with your diabetes. Using just one?often Levolin, as it typically causes fewer side effects?is much safer. Please consult your doctor to evaluate your dry cough and safely guide your treatment.

For quick relief, Levolin (levosalbutamol) can typically be used as 1 to 2 puffs every 4 to 6 hours, generally not exceeding 8 puffs in 24 hours. Foracort (formoterol/budesonide) is a preventer inhaler, and its daily limit depends on your specific prescribed dose, typically not exceeding 4 to 8 puffs daily. If you find yourself needing extra puffs frequently, or if your breathing does not improve after using Levolin, please seek immediate medical attention rather than taking more inhalations.

Levolin (levalbuterol) is a bronchodilator that helps open up the airways. While it is commonly associated with asthma, doctors also prescribe it for infants experiencing wheezing or chest tightness from viral respiratory infections. However, it does not treat a simple stuffy nose or a typical upper respiratory cough. Since this was prescribed, it is safe to use if your pediatrician detected wheezing during their exam. If you are unsure or if your baby's cough worsens, please check back with their doctor before starting the nebulizer.

It is generally safe to use your nebulizer with Levolin (levosalbutamol) and Budecart (budesonide) alongside steam inhalation to help soothe your cough. However, because you are awaiting COVID-19 test results, please take special care. Nebulizers can release tiny droplets into the air that may spread the virus to others. For safety, please use your nebulizer in a private, well-ventilated room away from family members. You can continue with the steam vaporizer, but space it out from your nebulizer sessions to avoid over-sensitizing your airways.

Please take your sweet little boy to a pediatrician today. With a week-long cough, new fever, and watery stools, a professional physical exam is very important to ensure he stays well-hydrated and gets the correct treatment. Since he is not vomiting right now, you can temporarily hold Eternal (ondansetron), but you may continue paracetamol for his fever and Spoorlac (probiotics) for his tummy. Because he is on multiple medications like Levolin and Histakind (fexofenadine), a doctor must review his chest and determine the correct, safe dosages. Please offer plenty of fluids or oral rehydration solutions to keep him hydrated.
