Hello Doctor, My baby is only 15 months old. She is suffering cold and caugh and wheezing from last 3 week. Firstly we gave her duolin inhaler 6 times a day with 4 hrs interval. But still she was not ok,then we gave calvam and a caugh syrup. After that she was quickly recover. But only for 5 days. Again she got cold and caugh. We are living at a very polluted area and now weather has been changed so when we asked doctor, he prescribed budecort inhaler twice a day for coming 3 months (for the whole winter season).. Now,my question is should we use budecort?? Is it safe for my 15 months toddler?? Is it steroid?? She doesn t have any asthmatic problem at all.. What should I do, please help...

Hi
For your first question must you use budecort in 15 months baby the answer is yess ..if the situation of baby lungs dont react good with other medications..isn't problem for 3 months of winter.
yess it is steroid but take as a inhaler is no dangerous for little baby but not for a long time...
After this situation i as allergist will recomand you to make a test your baby as Specific IgE for pneumoalergen(blood test) ..and you will have idea is allergic or no becouse after 2 years old you can use a lot of antiallergic medications..as vaccine etc..that prevent asthma at your child
With regard!
