Are Asthalin And Budecort Inhalers Recommendable For A 11 Months Old Child?

My baby is 11 months old and she was having cold and fever 1 month back , then it was given antibiotics and she got well in 7 days. Now again she is suffering from acute congestion and cough for past two days and doctor has advised us to go for asthalin and budecort inhaler with Spacer.

Hi,
As mentioned by you baby had acute congestion ( ie bronchospasm) which is a emergency condition which must be treated on urgent basis and def requires broncodilator with steroids . Through inhaler these drugs act localy and have least systemic side effect . as baby cannot co ordinate with inhaler so spaced is prescribed . Once your baby is fine doc may taper it n stop .
So have faith in ur paediatrition and continue treatment.

Thanks n regards
