Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough In A Child
Hi Doctor, this is Mary from Chennai, India. I have a 4 year kid who is suffering from continuous cold & cough for the past 1 year. She has cough during midnight and early morning. Now I consult with Child Trust, Nungambakkam, and they prescribed Budecort 2 puffs in mng and eve & Levolin 2 puffs in every 4 hours if she has continuous cough. Doctor said it was some kind of Allergy and we must prevent her with dust, smoke, face powder etc. Please advise whether my child has asthma or is there any side effect of using this Inhaler continuously.

Hi, welcome to HCM. From the symptoms it looks like asthma only. There is no harm in giving inhalers but it should be given on prescription of doctor only.
