A. Levolin (salbutamol) is often prescribed for children with coughs associated with respiratory issues, such as wheezing or bronchial irritation. It works as a bronchodilator, helping to open up the airways and make breathing easier. However, the correct dosage for a child, especially a young one, is typically much lower than the standard adult dose, and Levolin is often given in liquid or nebulizer form for children, rather than in tablet form. Here are a few things to consider: 1. Confirm Dosage: Double-check with the doctor to confirm that 5 mg is the correct dosage for your son, as it sounds relatively high for a child. Pediatric dosages for medications are generally based on the child’s weight, age, and severity of symptoms. 2. Possible Side Effects: Common side effects of Levolin include mild jitteriness, increased heart rate, and sometimes slight restlessness. If Rio experiences any of these symptoms, consult the doctor. 3. Other Instructions: Follow any specific instructions your doctor gave regarding timing, frequency, and whether it should be taken with or without food. If you have any concerns or if his cough worsens, reach out to the doctor for further clarification on the treatment plan.
