Brief Answer:
no significant side effects
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Wheezing is common in kids at this age especially in this season.
Budecort is budesonide which is an appropriate anti inflammatory inhaler for this problem.
Don't worry, it does not cause any significant side effects if taken under medical supervision.
The kit will ensure medicine reaches lungs properly.
It is better to continue this medicine for a few months. The swelling in the airways is caused by allergens or viral infection which needs continuous treatment with budesonide. But usually this issue will settle as the child grows.
Make sure you give the inhaler continuously without break.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.
