These inhalers work locally on respiratory system. So do not have major side effects.

Still do gargles after budesonide inhaler. Otherwise it can lead to fungal infection of throat.

Age of child is 3.5 years so doctor must have given spacer to inhale medicine. If not given, buy spacer which will make process easier for child.

Try to find out allergen which causes episode in child like dust, or some smell, some perfume, some food preservatives etc.. Maintain one diary to not down any provoking situation for breathlessness attack. And if found try to avoid that allergen.

Feel free to ask if any queries.

Hope this advice helped you.
