Medicine for Cold and Flu

Asked for Male, 11 years

Asking for my 6 years old son he gets sick with flu, cold and fever every month or two. He has been being prescribed antibiotics, muco / bronco dilators, medamol, and prednisolone. I want to know is this safe to give this many medicines to a 6 year old. Is there not some other way?

Dear Patient,

These are strong medications that he's being given.
Consider going to an ENT/CHEST specialist.
Also if the flu is always recurring then it's likely due to some kind of allergies. Consider seeing an allergen specialist for this issue as well. These may seem like a lot of doctors however it's important to find the root cause of the problem to treat it. Is it sinuses, chest or allergies causing this? Based on that the treatment is done accordingly.
