Could Medication For Cough And Cold Cause Stammering Problem In A Toddler?
My son is 3.5 yrs now. He is suffering from cold n cough most of the period. Dr has prescribed budecort 200 inhaler for 1 yr , 1 puff each time 2 times a day. After providing the dose for 7 months , problem of stammering is seen and also he inhales more air before speaking any word. He looses the word he wants to speak because of long stammering of same word. Is this the side effect of the medicine? Plz help

Hi.
I dont think so and you can report this to a doctor who will recommend speech therapy for your child which can help. Stammering can subside as he grows up, and could just be due to the difficulty with breathing or stress of it all. Please take him to his doctor, but the medications are not the culprit in my opinion.
Best wishes.
