Hello,
Your child has complaints of wheezing and nasal congestion. The Budesal nebulization will predominantly help control the wheezing episodes. Children with wheezing can have other associated allergic conditions like allergic rhinitis ( nasal allergy). Does your child have a watery nasal discharge? If that is the case he will require intranasal steroids to relieve his nasal congestion. Is there any family history of allergies like asthma, runny nose, skin allergies? Also it is necessary to identify any allergy triggering substance in his surroundings.
I would advice you to consult a paediatrician for a detailed evaluation for possibility of allergic rhinitis. Hope that helps.
Wishing you good luck.
Regards,
Preeti
