There are no major side-effects with either inhaler. You can safely use them now, and you can use them again, and again, if these attacks are repeated. However, use them under medical supervision. Budecort inhalers are steroids and you should clean the girl's mouth, tongue and gums with a rinse and wash after she has been given this inhaler, as otherwise, there is a risk of oral thrush, a kind of fungus infection of the mouth.
