Brief Answer:
Better to start inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Best treatment for seasonal wheezing is inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
ICS will reduce inflammatory reaction and hence symptoms like cough, wheezing etc.
So along with levolin also start budesonide (budecort) twice daily.
Continue other drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son.
Thanks.
