Why Toddler Is Suffering From Frequent Cold, Cough And Wheezing? Getting Relief With Budecort And Levolin

Hi Doctor, My son is 2 year 6 months Old. He is prone to frequent cold & cough with wheezing. Docs prescribe him with Budecort 0.5 mg & Levolin .63 mg more often. Although he has been prescribed with duolin & budesol as well on several occasions. For Last around 8 months he is on regular course of Budecort .5 mg once a day & montair 4 tablet. he seemsto be fine with it but yesrday only we missed his nebulizer just once & by the night he was wheezing. He was OK till evevning & was playing well but suddenly he started coughing & then slight wheezing started. Got very scared. Although he settled down with budecort & montair afterwards but am really worried.
Has he got addicted to budecort? is anything more serious with him than we are realizing? will all this affect his health & growth in future? m worried about his health & also his future that how he will cope up with the school & other things.

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.

Allergic bronchitis which your kid is suffering from
Will improve only with
A) daily use of budecort.
B) allergy testing and avoiding triggers.
Your kid is not addicted, it's just that you are not giving him the proper way it should be given.
Do not miss even a day.
It's harmless even if given for many years.
Properly treated your kid can have normal school life
Regards
