Hi - 19m son was admitted to hospital last month with breathing difficulties. We have an inhaler but in an effort to prevent him needing a steroid preventer we've been given montelukast sachets to mix into food when he gets a cold...today he's got a cold and exactly the same barking type cough he had last time but only problem is he's completely off his food, wouldn't eat even a mouthful.
DOes anyone know if there is an alternative? Makes sense that if he feels ill he won't eat so seems pointless giving me medicine to put in food!
