Talk to Pediatrician on Pneumonia
Asking For Self, Female 4, rawalpindi
My 4 years old girl caught pneumonia in December 2021. She recovered after treatment. Got booster shots of PCV and pneumonia. But it's been 6months she is taking pulmitac syrup and Freehale sachet. Every time I question about quitting the medication the doctor says come after a month and I will tell you. Why is that so. It's been 2 weeks I stop giving her medicines she is perfectly OK. Am I doing right.

Ur baby might b allergic to environmental allergens. Allergic people get superadded pneumonias easily, so doctor gave to medicines to control allergy. Keep her vaccination updated, avoid allergens like dust , smoke and perfumes. Give annual influenza vaccine( sept or august).hold medicines and follow precautions, but she might need them again when smog or winter season comes in

Visit your doctor and get her latest checkup, if her chest is clear and she is perfectly healthy then he might himself discontinue the medications. Sometimes patients don’t understand the need for continuing meds. And these allergies require patience for long term effective treatment.
