My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she's been dealing with a cold and cough since January. We saw a doctor who gave us some medicine, which helped with the cold but her cough hasn't gone away. She tends to cough especially at night while she's sleeping and again when she wakes up in the morning. We went back to the doctor and he mentioned that it might be early asthma symptoms and suggested we try LEVOLIN syrup for 5 days. He seemed optimistic and said asthma in kids can be cured with medicine. I'm really worried and curious about how common this is in young children and if there's anything specific I should watch for or do to help her. Does this seem like the right approach?

View allI'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?
A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.
