Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your daughter's history.
I would like to ask you a few more questions -
What is her age? Since how long she has been having asthma? What are her symptoms? Does she have any other allergies/nose symptoms? etc.
I would like to make following suggestions for you:
1.
Budecort is a "controller" type of asthma medication (it is an inhaled
corticosteroids). It is considered the best inhaled drug to control asthma.
If you give it regularly, it definitely improves asthma control. I would like to tell you that it take 1-2 weeks to get maximum effects of budecort. So please continue it regularly even if initially you may not see its effects.
2. It is also important to understand that it only controls asthma, does not "cure" it. As most of the asthma in young children (less than 5 years of age) improve with age, we can hope for improvement.
3. If low dose budecort does not help, its dose can be increased.
4. Another most important thing is type of inhaler device and technique of using inhaler. If it is improper, chances are that a patient may not get adequate amounts of drug in lungs and therefore it may not be that effective. So please make sure that your daughter is using her device in perfect manner.
5. I would also suggest your daughter avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
6. I would also suggest her
allergy testing which will help you to know what substances she is allergic to and also how to avoid them.
Hope above suggestions will help you and solves your query.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish your daughter the best of the health.
Thank you & Regards.
