Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic .
Budecirt inhaler is very safe to be given to infants.
Don't worry. There are no significant side effects if taken under medical supervision.
The syrup you are giving too is safe . It is to decrease body's allergic response.
For the hemoglobin tonoferon drops will work well , continue for atleast next 6 months.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
