  5. My 3.5-year-old child has been having a severe cough, especially at night. We have also noticed a slight ?grrr? noise while breathing. Currently, we are giving Laveta syrup and Pulmoxy 250 mg tablet twice daily (morning and evening). Could you please suggest the appropriate treatment or medicines and advise whether this could be something serious?

The 'grrr' sound and severe night cough suggest wheezing or an airway spasm. While Pulmoxy (an antibiotic) and Laveta (an anti-allergy) target infections and allergies, they do not open restricted airways. Your child likely needs a bronchodilator or nebulization to ease breathing. Yes, noisy breathing can become serious if left untreated and may affect oxygen levels. Please stop self-medicating and visit a pediatrician immediately for a proper chest examination and the correct prescription.
