What Are The Side Effects Of Foracort Puffs And Respules In A Child?
my daughter is 3 yrs old. she is allergic and suffers from cold/cough almost round the year. She is on antibiotics almost every month, coupled with neubulisers (levolin 0.31 mg and budesol 0.5 mg) and on Foracort 100 puff (2 puffs, twice a day). Since normal cough/cold syrups like chericoff/cetzine are ineffective for her, she has to use these respules/puffs. Suggest the impacts.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic,
From your history I understand that your daughter is suffering from asthma.
The side effects are less with inhalers and nebulisers as the dose is very less compared to oral medication.
Better to take the medicines under the constant supervision of pediatrician.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
