Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

The prescription of asthalin nebulization 4 hourly & budecort nebulization 12 hourly is perfectly fine for a mild attack of allergic bronchitis/asthma.

I would suggest you to please adjust the schedule to comfort of your daughter.

For a 12 hourly used drug such as Budecort, a difference of 1 hour will not make a great change in therapeutic response. So schedule the dosing in such a way that your daughter has not to be awakened from sleep and not to be disturbed significantly.

However, it is important to adhere to 4 hourly Asthalin nebulization as it is a rapidly acting drug.

Hope this will make things clear to you and will be helpful.

Wish your daughter a quick recovery and best of the health.

Regards.
