Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Your child seems to be having reactive airways disease.
Relax,continue with medication as advised by your pediatrician.
Inhaler is only a mode of delivery of drug.
Less amount of drug is needed as it is directly deposited in lungs thereby decreasing its side effects.

Wishing your child good health.
God bless.
