Question 1

Good morning Sir/Madam, My son is 3.4 years old. He started with a simple runny nose which later turned into a dry cough. It has been one month that he is on treatment. Initially, he took cold related medicines for almost two weeks, including Cetrizine, Phenylephrine, Dextromethorphan, and Chlorpheniramine, but had very little improvement. Later, he developed ear pain, so he was given Augmentin antibiotics. He improved for only two days and then again started having a severe dry cough. His vitamin D level was found to be 53, and he is taking weekly 60000 IU. The doctor told us it is bronchitis and prescribed Levolin and Budocort three times a day. Even after 20 days of using the pump, there was very little improvement. Now, he has been given Prednisone and Cefixime for five days, but he is still coughing continuously, today is the third day of this treatment, and there is very little improvement. He does not have a fever. Please suggest what I can do to help his improvement?

Question 2

I am suffering from chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing and headache for the last few months. I have PFT and IgE test reports. I want to know if these reports are normal or show any abnormality. Please check my reports and also share the prescription.

Question 3

I am a 53 year old woman suffering from allergic rhinitis. I would like to know the cost of a skin prick test for both airborne and food allergens. Additionally, if I am found to be allergic to something like house dust mites, what would be the cost of allergy vaccination (immunotherapy)? For your reference, my recent test results are: TLC: 9100/cumm, Neutrophils: 50percent, Lymphocytes: 40percent, Eosinophils: 6percent, Monocytes: 4percent, Basophils: 0percent, Total IgE: 231.2 IU/ml, hsCRP: 4.6 mg/L, Vitamin D: 7.65 ng/ml.

These are signs of allergic rhinitis and possible asthma. You may benefit from allergy testing and immunotherapy. Consult an allergist or pulmonologist. Please do the required IgE and allergy panel.
